In a floral arrangement of 54 flowers, five out of nine are tulips. Represented as a diagram, approximately 30 flowers are tulips, and the remaining 24 are non-tulip flowers, forming a ratio of 5:4.
Let's represent the total number of flowers in the arrangement as 54. According to the given information, five out of every nine flowers are tulips. Therefore, the remaining four out of nine are non-tulip flowers.
Now, we can build a diagram:
Tulips | Non-Tulip
_______|__________
(5/9) | (4/9)
To find how many tulips are in each section, you can calculate:
1. Number of tulips: (5/9) * 54
2. Number of non-tulip flowers: (4/9) * 54
This will give you the specific number of tulips and non-tulip flowers in the arrangement.
