Answer: 33 tulips bloomed / 66 tulips did not bloom

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of tulips = 99

Total number of tulips bloomed = 3/9 of total

Solve:

Step One: Find the number of tulips that bloomed

99 × (3/9) = 99 × (1/3) = 33 tulips

Step Two: Find the number of tulips that did not bloom

99 - 33 = 66 tulips

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions
