much greater was Solan's fraction of red tulips than Julie's?

Answer 1

Solan's tulip fraction was 1.5 times greater than Julie's.

Explanation:

15/20 of Solan's tulips were red, while 10/20 of Julie's were red.

Solan's tulip fraction was 1.5 times greater than Julie's.

Answer 2

Answer: Fraction of red tulips of Solan is greater than fraction of red tulips of Julie by 0.75-0.5=0.25.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

In case of Solan:

Number of red tulips = 15

Total number of tulips = 20

In case of Julie :

Number of red tulips = 10

Total number of tulips = 20

So, Fraction of red tulips of Solan is given by
`(15)/(20)=0.75`

Fraction of red tulips of Julie is given by
`(10)/(20)=0.50`

So, Fraction of red tulips of Solan is greater than fraction of red tulips of Julie by 0.75-0.5=0.25.
