Answer 1

Answer:

1/8,3/5,1/4,8/1

LCM:40

1/8=5/40

3/5=24/40

1/4=10/40

5/40+24/40+10/40

=39/40

Answer 2

320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are x flowers. 1/8 of x are Jasmine, 3/5 of x are Roses, 1/4 of x are Sunflowers and 8 are Lilies.

Total number of flowers = x

$\implies$Jasmine + Roses + Sunflowers + Lilies = x

(1/8 * x ) + (3/5 * x) + (1/4 * x) + 8 = x

x/8 + 3x/5 + x/4 + 8 = x

x/8 + 3x/5 + x/4 - x = -8

(5x + 24x + 10x - 40x)/40 = - 8

-x/40 = - 8

x/40 = 8

x = 8*40

x = 320

Total number of flowers is 320
