Question

There are 8 roses in a vase of 14 flowers. The rest are daisies.

(a) What is the ratio of roses to daisies?

(b) What is the ratio of all flowers in the vase to daisies?

Answer 1

a) 4:3

b) 7:3

Explanation:

No. of roses= 8

No. of daisies = 6

Total no. of flowers = 14

a) Ratio of roses to daisies = No. of roses/No. of daisies

8/6

= 4/3

= 4:3

b) Ratio of all flowers to daisies = No. of all flowers/ No. of daisies

14/6

= 7/3

= 7:3
