Answer 2

Answer: There were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.

Explanation:

Given: A flower shop sold 3.5 times as many roses as lilies .

Let the number of roses be x and the number of lilies be y.

`(x)/(y)=(3.5)/(1)\\\Rightarrow(x)/(y)=(35)/(10)\\\Rightarrow(x)/(y)=(7)/(2)`

Therefore, there were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.
