Question

Morita work in a florist shop and makes flower arrangements. She puts 10 flowers in each vase, and 2/10 of the flowers are daisies. If Morita makes 4 arrangements, how many daisies does she need?

Answer 1

Important Info
2 out of 10 flowers are daisys
she’s making 4 arrangements

2 (daisys) x 4 (arrangements) = 8 daisys to make 4 arrangements

Answer 2

8 daisies are needed

Explanation:

First let’s find the number of flowers needed

Number of flowers in each vase = 10

Number of vases = 4

Total number of flowers = number vases x number of flowers

= 4 x 10 = 40

Now let’s find the number of daisies

Fraction of flowers which are daisies = 2/10

Total number of flowers = 40

Number of flowers which are daisies = fraction of daisies x total flowers

= (2/10) x 40

= (2/10) x (40/1)

= (2x40)/(10x1)

= 80/10 = 8 daisies
