Question

When you get home to plant the flowers, you have 3 different flowerbeds that you plan on planting flowers.

In one of these flowerbeds you have 4 tulips and 3 geraniums.
The other flowerbed you have 6 geraniums.

• How many tulips should there be in the second flowerbed to have the same ratio of tulips and geraniums as the first flowerbed?

• How many total geranium flowers are used in these two flowerbeds?

• How many total tulip flowers are to be used in these two flowerbeds?

• How many of each do we have left to use in the remaining flowerbed?

1) The first flowerbed has 4 tulips and the other has 8. So all together 12 tulips are used in those two glowerbeds.
2) There should be 8 tulips in the second flowerbed.
3) I'm sorry. I can't answer this one.
