Question

a hotel ballroom is decorated with tulips, roses and peonies. The ratio of the number of tulips to the number of roses in the ballroom. there are 575 stalks of flowers in the ballroom altogether. how many tulips are there​

Answer 1

200 tulips

Explanation:

The computation of the number of tulips are shown below:

Given that

Ratio of number of tulips to number of ratios is 2:3 we can write 8:12

And, the peonies to roses are 1:4 we can write as 3:12

So,

Tulips : Roses : Peonies

8:12:3

Now

Total units of flowers + 8 + 12 + 3

= 23

For tulips it would be

= 575 × 8 ÷ 23 units

= 200 tulips
