Question

lauren bought 6 yellow roses, 10 orange roses, 12 pink roses to make a bouqet. what is the ratio of the number yellow roses to the total number of roses in lauren's bouquet?

Answer 1

The ratio is 3 : 14 .

Explanation:

Given that there are 6 yellow, 10 orange and 12 pink roses.

So there are a total of 28 roses, 6+10+12 = 28.

The question wants the ratio of yellow roses to total roses so, the ratio is 6 : 28.

Next, you have to give in simplest form where you have to divide 2 which is 6/2 : 28/2 equals to 3 : 14.
