Explanation:

let's assume there are 100 flowers in total, because that's an easy number to work with. we know that 3/4 is 75%. if 75% of 100 flowers are tulips, that means there are 75 tulips. now, we know that 2/3 is 66.666%. since that's not an easy number to work with, we'll just use the fraction. since 75 is divisible by 3, we can take 1/3 of 75 and multiply it by 2 for the final answer. 75/3=25, and 25×2=50, so there are 50 yellow tulips.

Answer:


\sf (1)/(2)

Explanation:

In order to find the fraction of flowers in Eden's Garden that are yellow tulips, we need to multiply the fraction of flowers that are tulips by the fraction of tulips that are yellow.


\sf \textsf{ Fraction of flowers that are tulips } =(3)/(4)


\sf \textsf{ Fraction of tulips that are yellow }= (2)/(3)

Now, multiply these two fractions together:


\sf (3)/(4) * (4)/(3) =(3* 2)/(4 * 3 )=(6)/(12)+(1)/(2)

Therefore,


\textsf{ Fraction of floweres which are yellow tullipa is :} \sf (1)/(2)
