Answer: The ratio of roses to tulips will not change and remains the same.

Explanation:

Given : In a florist shop, the ratio of roses to tulips is 7:2. The shop has 84 tulips on Friday morning.

Let x be the number of roses and y be the number of tulips .

Then, as per given , we have


(x)/(y)=(7)/(2)

If the florist uses half of each type of flower to fill an order for a wedding, then the required ratio of roses to tulips will be


((x)/(2))/((y)/(2))=(x*(1)/(2))/(y*(1)/(2))=(x)/(y)=(7)/(2)

Hence, the ratio of roses to tulips will not change and remains the same.
