A flower show has an inventory of

60 tulips

100 roses

So,

60=\frac{3}{5}\times10060=

5

3

×100

or

100=\frac{5}{3}\times60100=

5

×60

Other options can not be true as they do not satisfy the equation. For example,

60 = 3\times 10060=3×100 can not be true as the L.H.S ≠ R.H.S

Therefore, the correct equitation is 60=\frac{3}{5}\times10060=
