Answer 2

Answer:

∴ Number of roses which are not red are $30$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of roses = $48$

           Number of red roses = $\frac{3}{8}$ of total roses

To find : The number of roses which are not red.

Solution :

• It is given that the total number of roses = $48$

           Number of red roses = $\frac{3}{8}$ of total roses

• We have to find the number of roses which are not red.
• To find the number of roses which are not red, first, we have to find the number of red roses.
• So,

    Number of red roses = $\frac{3}{8}$ of total roses

                                   = $\frac{3}{8} *48$

                                   = $3*6$

                                   = $18$

• ∴ Number of red roses are $18$.
• Now,

    Number of roses which are not red = Total roses - Red roses

                                                       = $48-18$

                                                       = $30$

• ∴ Number of roses which are not red are $30$.
