Michelle is planting flowers in her garden. She wants the ratio of daisies to carnations to be 3 to 2. Michelle wants to plant a total of 40 flowers. How many daisies should she plant?

Answer 1

Answer :

24 daisies she plant

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of daisies to carnations = 3:2

Let, the multiple of ratio be x

Total no. of plant she plant = 40

⇒ 3x + 2x = 40

⇒ 5x = 40

⇒ x = 40/5

⇒ x = 8

No. of daisies she plant = 3x

→ No. of daisies she plant = 3 × 8

→ No. of daisies she plant = 24
