Question

Suzanne arranges flowers at her restaurant, She puts 8 flowers in each vase. Three flowers in each vase are yellow. If Suzanne uses 32 flowers, how many are yellow?

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Take 3/8 (3 yellow flowers out of 8) and make the bottom 32 because that is the total. Whatever you do to the bottom, has to happen to the top. So, to get from 8 to 32, you multiply by 4. You have to multiply by 4 on the top, which gets you to 12. Hope this helped!
