Question

In each bouquet of flowers, there are 2 roses and 8 white carnations.

how many roses and carnations are there if there is 5 bouquets


roses: I 2 I 4 I 6 I 8 I 10 I

carnations: I 8 I___I___I___I___I

Answer 1

Explanation:

So a simple set is to find the multiplier given for the roses and use it for the carnations. 2 goes into 4 2 times, 6 3times, 8 4 times, and 10 5 times. Therefore:

8*2,8*3,8*4,&8*5

| 8 | 16 | 24 | 32 | 40 |

The answer is 10 roses and 40 carnations.

A simpler way is to say there are 4 times as many carnations as roses since the ratio is 2:8. Giving 2 roses x 5 bouquets = 10 roses.

And 10 x 4 = 40 carnations.

Answer 2

8 16 24 32 40

8*5=40

Explanation:

8*1=8

8*2=16

8*3=24

8*4=32

8*5=40
