What is the number of tulips in the arrangement?

1 answer

To find the number of flowers in each section, we need to divide the total number of flowers (55) by the number of sections (5).
Therefore, there are 55 flowers / 5 sections = <<55/5=11>>11 flowers in each section.

To find the number of tulips, we need to find 3/5 of the total number of flowers.
Therefore, there are 3/5 x 55 = <<3/5*55=33>>33 tulips in the arrangement. Answer: \boxed{33}.
