Answer:

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 *
