Question

Evelyn works in a greenhouse and planted 22 flowers in pots. 8 of the flowers were daisies.

If she wants the ratio of daisies to flowers to stay the same how many daisies would she need to plant if she fills 66 pots?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

`(daisies)/(total flowers)` =
`(daisies)/(total flowers\\)`

`(8)/(22)` =
`(d)/(66)`

22 x 3 = 66

8 x 3 = 24

Answer 2

Answer: 24 Daisies

Explanation:

14 flowers are normal and the other 8 are daisies, there are currently 22 flowers.

To fill 66 plots, she'd need to plant 3 times as many flowers as there are now, so there'd be 14*3 non daisies and 8*3 daisies. 8*3 = 24.
