So...the way you did it you probably flipped the fraction and multiplied by the reciprocal.

You COULD have done it in the complete opposite way... instead of turning 1/2 into 2/1...do 1/7 instead of 7/1. This would get you to 1/14 and if you flip that, you get 14/1.

Answer:

you have #5 correct and that is how I would do it.

you could also figure out the number of flowers and put 6 in each vase.

7x12= 84

84/6= 14.

I still think your way is best.
