Question

Genny is arranging flowers in vases for every 1 rose shes uses 6 tuilps .How many tulips would she use for every 5 roses

Answer 1

30 tulips

Explanation:

This question gives us the amount of tulips for one rose.

Let us make 1 rose as r and a tulip is t. Now write an equation for the tulips.

Tulip = 6r

If we have 5r:

5r = 6t x 5

Solve!

5r = 30t

5 roses = 30 tulips

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

30

Explanation:

Ah okay, so this is a simple proportion.

If 1 rose = 6 tulips, then you just multiply however many roses you have by 6. So in your case, 5 x 6 = 30. So in short, for every 5 roses Genny uses, she will use 30 tulips.
