Answer 1

There are 20 rosebushes, Juanita painted 3/4 of them.

So, we can convert 3/4 into a decimal or just multiply it by 20 to get the number of rose bushes that were painted red. Either way works.

Work:

20 x 3/4 = 15

3/4 = .75

.75 x 20 = 15

20 - 15 = 5

Therefore, 15 rosebushes were painted red and 5 rosebushes were painted white.
