If the ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2, and there are 30 flowers in total, we can determine the number of flowers that came from bulbs as follows:
First, we need to calculate the total number of parts in the ratio:
10 parts (flowers) + 8 parts (bulbs) + 2 parts (seeds) = 20 parts
Next, we need to find out how many parts 30 flowers represent:
30 flowers / 10 parts = 3 parts
Since 3 parts represent flowers, we can calculate the number of flowers that came from bulbs:
3 parts x 8 bulbs per part = 24 flowers came from bulbs
Therefore, out of the 30 flowers in the garden, 24 of them came from bulbs.
