Question

Jethro is planting flowers in his garden. He wants the ratio of tulips to roses to be 2 to 1. Jethro wants to plant a total of 33 flowers. How many tulips should he plant?

Answer 1

Answer: 22 tulips

Explanation:

2 + 1 = 3

3 goes into 33 11 times, so you multiply each value by 11

2 * 11 = 22 tulips

22 tulips to 11 roses is 2:1 ratio
