Question

The ratio of the number of roses to the number of daises in a garden is 4:3. If there are 42 daises in the garden, how many roses are in the garden?

Answer 1

56

Explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents daisies.

Divide the number of daisies by 3 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

42 ÷ 3 = 14 ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

4 parts = 4 × 14 = 56 ← number of roses
