The answer would be the first choice or the choice of "There were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies" this is because 3.5 times 2 is 7. Hope this helps.

Answer: There were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.


Explanation:

Given: A flower shop sold 3.5 times as many roses as lilies .

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

According to the question,


(x)/(y)=(3.5)/(1)\\\Rightarrow(x)/(y)=(35)/(10)\\\Rightarrow(x)/(y)=(7)/(2)

Therefore, there were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.
