Answer 2

`25\ yellow\ flowers`

Explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of yellow flowers

y ----> the total number of flowers

we know that

`(x)/(y)=(5)/(9)` ---->
`x=(5)/(9)y` ---> equation A

`y=45` ----> equation B

substitute the value of y in the equation A and solve for x

`x=(5)/(9)(45)`

`x=25\ yellow\ flowers`
