Answer 1

To describe the relationship between lilies and roses used in identical arrangements, divide the total number of each flower by the number of arrangements. The equation is l = 5 lilies per arrangement and r = 13 roses per arrangement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking to write an equation to describe the relationship between l, the number of lilies, and r, the number of roses used in identical flower arrangements. Since Flannery used 30 lilies and 78 roses to create six identical arrangements, we can write the relationship as:

l = number of lilies used per arrangement
r = number of roses used per arrangement

For lilies:
l = 30 / 6 = 5

For roses:
r = 78 / 6 = 13

Therefore, the equation representing the relationship between l and r is l = 5 and r = 13.
