Answer 2

The ratio of carnations to daffodils in three different ways are 5/3, 5:3 and 5 to 3.

Explanation:

Given information:

Number of roses = 4

Number of carnations = 5

Number of daffodils = 3

We need to write the ratio of carnations to daffodils in three different ways.

The three different ways to write as ratio are

1. Fraction

`(x)/(y)`

2. Ratio using colon

`x:y`

3. Word form

x to y

The ratio of carnations to daffodils is

`\frac{\text{Number of carnations}}{\text{Number of daffodils}}=(5)/(3)`

It can be written as 5:3 and 5 to 3.

Therefore the ratio of carnations to daffodils in three different ways are 5/3, 5:3 and 5 to 3.
