Question

the ratio of vases to flowers is 2:6.If there are 24 flowers,how many vases are there?type of proportion and answer​

Answer 1

There are 6 vases.

This is a direct proportion because as the number of flowers increase, the number of vases also increase.

Explanation:

2 vases : 6 flowers

? vase : 24 flowers

For every 6 flowers, there are 2 vases

`(2)/(6) = (?)/(24)`

To get from 6 to 24, you multiply 3

`(2)/(6) x 3 = (6)/(24)`

* what you do to the denominator, you do to the numerator *
