Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

This is a proportion. To solve it, we need to set up the equation.

___________________________________________________

Step 1: Set up the Proportion

The proportion here needs to be expressed as:


(pink flowers)/(white flowers)

Since this ratio is 3/2, we can set up the proportion as follows:


(3)/(2) =(a)/(36)

___________________________________________________

Step 2: Use Cross-Multiplication

2a = 3 × 36

3a = 216

a = 72

___________________________________________________

Step 3: Repeat for the Other Values


(3)/(2) = (72)/(b)

3b = 2 × 72

3b = 144

b = 48

___________________________________________________


(3)/(2) = (126)/(c)

3c = 2 × 126

3c = 252

c = 84
