Answer 1

The answer to your question is 32 rose and 8 tulip

Explanation:

Data

rose/ 4 = tulip

total number of arrangements = 40

Rose arrangement = R = ?

Tulip arrangement = T = ?

Process

1.- Write equations to solve this problem

R/4 = T

R + T = 40

2.- Solve the system by substitution

R + R/4 = 40

(4R + R) / 4 = 40

4R + R = 4(40)

5R = 160

R = 160 / 5

R = 32

- Find T

32 + T = 40

T = 40 - 32

T = 8

3.- Conclusion

She made 32 rose arrangement and 8 tulip arrangements.
