Given:

The number of petunias and daffodils planted by 3 neighbors.

We will find the ratio of petunias to daffodils for each one:

The ratio of petunias to daffodils for mra. H =


(48)/(16)=3

The ratio of petunias to daffodils for mrs M =


(84)/(24)=3.5

The ratio of petunias to daffodils for mrs P =


(30)/(8)=3.75

We will choose the greatest ratio

So, the answer will be option C. mrs. p
