Question

morita work in a florist shop and makes flower arrangements She put 10 flower in each base and 2/10 of flower are daisies. If morita make 4 arangements how many daisies does she need Shiw how you can check your answer

Answer 1

Morita needs 8 daisies in total for 4 arrangements, as each arrangement has 2 out of 10 flowers as daisies. The answer is checked by confirming the math used to derive the fraction of daisies per vase and then multiplying by the number of arrangements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to proportions and arithmetic calculations in a given context. Morita makes flower arrangements at a florist shop. To solve the problem, we need to determine the number of daisies per arrangement and then multiply this by the total number of arrangements she creates.

First, we calculate the number of daisies per arrangement. If 2/10 of the flowers are daisies and there are 10 flowers in each vase, we multiply the fraction by the total number of flowers in a vase:

2/10 of 10 is equivalent to (2/10) × 10 = 2 daisies per vase.

Since Morita is making 4 arrangements, we then multiply the number of daisies per vase by the number of arrangements:

2 daisies/vase × 4 vases = 8 daisies in total.

To check the answer, you can verify that you have indeed taken the correct fraction (2/10) and applied it to the correct total number of flowers (10 × 4 = 40 flowers in 4 arrangements), then ensuring you've multiplied by the total number of arrangements to get the final count of daisies.

Answer 2

She needs 8 daisies.

1 arrangement = 10 flowers = 2/10 are daisies.
4 * 10 = 40 flowers
2/10 * 40 = 80 / 10 = 8 daisies.

4 arrangements = 40 flowers = 8/40 are daisies

Proportionality: where a/b = c/d

a = 2 daisies
b =10 flowers
c = 8 daisies
d = 40 flowers

We will know if the proportions are correct because the cross products will be equal.

ad = bc
2*40 = 10*8
80 = 80
