Question

Ali bought his mom 2 dozen (24) of roses. 1/3 of them are red and the rest are pink. How many are pink

Answer 1

there are 16 pink roses

Explanation:

Number of pink roses = fraction of pink roses x total number of roses bought

fraction of pink roses = 1 - fraction of red roses

1 - 1/3

= 3/3 - 1/3 = 2/3

Number of pink roses = 2/3 x 24 = 16
