Question

for every 6 white roses, there are 8 pink roses. If the floral arrangement is proportional then how many pink roses are in a arrangement with 10 white roses

Answer 1

13.33 pink roses

Explanation:

We are told the floral arrangements are proportional , hence:

6 white roses = 8 pink roses

10 white roses = x

Cross Multiply

6 white roses × x = 10 white rose × 8 pink roses

x = 10 white roses × 8 pink roses/6 white roses

x = 13.333333333 pink roses

x ≈ 13.33 pink roses
