Question

A flower garden has 12 sunflowers for every 45 irises. Write another ratio with the same constant of proportionality. Explain how you found this ratio.

Answer 1

The ratio of sunflowers to irises is 12:45
This means every 12 sunflowers you find there will be 45 irises.

To find an equivalent ratio simply divide or multiply the ratio like below.

12:45 multiply 2 =24:90

This says very 24 sunflowers there will be 90 irises which is the same ratio we began with.
