at the flower shop, there are 5 times as many roses as sunflowers. if there are 252 roses and sunflowers altogether, how many roses are there? how many sunflowers are there?

since there are 5 times as many roses as sunflowers, that should mean the sunflower is 1 times.
5+1=6.
now you divide 252 and 6 to get 42.

sunflowers= 42
roses= 42 x 5 = 210
