In a flower garden, there are 4 tulips for every 8 daisies. If there are 32 tulips, how many daisies are there?

Answer 1

To find the number of daisies in the flower garden, we first establish the ratio of tulips to daisies. The problem states that there are 4 tulips for every 8 daisies, which simplifies to:

$$\frac{4\text{ tulips}}{8\text{ daisies}}=\frac{1\text{ tulip}}{2\text{ daisies}}$$

This indicates that for every 1 tulip, there are 2 daisies.

Now, we know that there are 32 tulips in the garden. We'll use the established ratio to determine the number of daisies corresponding to these tulips.

Given that each tulip corresponds to 2 daisies, we can calculate the total number of daisies as follows:

$$\text{Number of daisies}=\text{Number of tulips}\times 2$$ $$\text{Number of daisies}=32\times 2=64$$

Thus, the total number of daisies in the flower garden is:

$$\boxed{{\displaystyle 64}}$$
