Answer 1

The number of pink roses bloomed are 4.

Explanation:

Given:

Two-thirds of Sandi’s rose bushes bloomed this summer.

One-half of the ones that bloomed were pink.

Sandi had 12 roses bushes.

Now, to find the number of Sandi's pink roses which blooms this summer.

Total roses bloomed this summer = 2/3 of 12.

=
`(2)/(3) * 12.`

=
`(24)/(3)=8\ roses.`

Number of pink roses that bloomed = 1/2 of 8 roses.

=
`(1)/(2) * 8`

=
`(8)/(2)=4\ roses.`

Therefore, the number of pink roses bloomed are 4.
