To find :

• the percentage  of each type of colored flowers in mixed fraction​

Solution :

⇒ Let's find the percentage.

Ratio = 2 : 3 : 4

Total Ratio = 2 + 3 + 4

= 9

→ Percentage of Pink flower = 2/9

= 2/9 × 100

= 2 × 100/9

= 200/9

= 22 2/9%

→ Percentage of Red flower = 3/9

= 3/9 × 100

= 3 × 100/9

= 300/9

= 33 3/9%

→ Percentage of White flower = 4/9

= 4/9 × 100

= 4 × 100/9

= 400/9

= 44 4/9%

• Therefore, the percentage of pink, red and white flowers are 22 2/9%. 33 3/9% and 44 4/9%.
