Answer:
16 flowers total
Explanation:
Lilies : Daisies
5 : 3
10 : x
x : number of daisies
We can put the ratio in fraction form and then cross multiply.
5/3 = 10/x
Cross multiply
30 = 5x
x = 6
Or, you can notice that since the amount of lilies doubles, the amount of daisies must also double. This way, you can double 3 to get 6.
To get the total number of flowers, you must add them. 10 lilies + 6 daisies = 16 flowers total.
