Question

There are 4 roses for every 7 carnations in a bouqeuet. Mr rodriguez buys a bouqeuet with 12 roses in it. How many total flowers are in the bouqeuet Mr rodriguez bought?

Please explain step by step I dont get it.

Answer 1

33 total flowers are in the bouquet Mr Rodriguez bough

Explanation:

So for every 4 roses there are 7 carnations meaning the ratio is 4:7

4 times x = 12

x=3

So we do the same for carnations

7 x 3 = 21

Now we add to find the total

21+12=33

33 total flowers
