Answer: If you have a boquet with 20 items with a ratio of 2:3 (baby breath to roses), then you have 8 red roses to 12 baby breath stems.

NOTE: Please let me know if you have a different scenario to solve.

Explanation:

The ratio is (baby breath) 2:3 (roses)

Red roses are 2x and baby breath is 3x

Solve for a boquet containing 20 stems:

2x+3x= 20

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4

Red roses: 2x = 8 stems

Baby breath: 3x = 12 stems
