Question

you plant 15 tulip bulbs and 10 of them grow into flowers to bloom. If you plant 21 more re tulips bulbs, predict how many of them would bloom

Answer 1

14 more flower would bloom if 21 more tulip bulb is planted.

Explanation:

Given ratio for tulip bulbs and flowers is 15:10.

Now, finding number of flower to bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

Assume if 21 tulip bulbs are planted then number of flower would bloom be"x"

ratio given:
`(Tulip\ bulbs)/( Flower) = (15)/(10) = (21)/(x)`

Cross multiplying the ratio to get:

⇒x=
`(21* 10)/(15) = (210)/(15)`

∴
`x= 14\ flowers`

Hence, 14 flowers would bloom if 21 tulip bulb are planted.

If total tulip bulb is
`15+21= 36`, then
`10+14= 24\ flowers` would bloom.
