`Pink: yellow\\6\:\::\:2\\\\Total\:ratio = 6+2 = 8\\\\48 \:pink\: flowers`

First calculate total no of flowers

`(6)/(8) * x = 48\\\\(6x)/(8) =48\\\\Cross\:Multiply\\6x = 48* 8\\6x = 384\\\\Divide\:both\:sides\:of\:the\:equation\:by\:6\\(6x)/(6) = (384)/(6) \\\\x = 64\\\\Total \:flowers = 64`

Calculate no of yellow flowers

`Total\:flowers-Pink\:flowers = Yellow\:flowers\\\\Yellow\:flowers = 64 - 48\\Yellow\:flowers =16`

The answer is 16 yellow flowers
