Final answer:

The ratio of roses to the total number of flowers is 13:58, which is found by adding up the total number of flowers (25 daisies + 20 tulips + 13 roses = 58 flowers) and comparing the number of roses to this total.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ratio of roses to all flowers, first add up the total number of flowers. The florist has 25 daisies, 20 tulips, and 13 roses, which equals 58 flowers in total. Then, to find the ratio of roses to the total number of flowers, compare the number of roses to the total flower count.

The ratio is calculated as follows:

  • Number of roses: 13
  • Total number of flowers: 25 (daisies) + 20 (tulips) + 13 (roses) = 58

The ratio of roses to all flowers is therefore 13:58, which corresponds to option B.
