Question

Robert planted 18 daffodil bulbs and 24 tulip bulbs in his garden last winter. If all the bulbs sprout and bloom this spring, what will be the ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden? Express as a simplified ratio.

Answer 1

I think its 4:3 because if its 24:18 you can break it down by dividing 6 from both of them to get 4:3

Answer 2

The ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden is 4 : 3

Explanation:

The number of daffodil bulbs
`=18`

The number of tulip bulbs
`=24`

Now.....

`(Tulip\ bulbs)/(Daffodil\ bulbs)=(24)/(18)=(4)/(3)\ [dividing\ both\ 24\ and\ 18\ by\ 6]\\ \\ Tulips:Daffodils = 4:3`

So, the ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden is 4 : 3
