To find the number of flowers in each section, we first need to determine the number of sections. Since three out of every five flowers are tulips, that means there are 3 sections of tulips out of a total of 5 sections.
To find the number of flowers in each section, we divide the total number of flowers (55) by the number of sections (5):
55 flowers / 5 sections = 11 flowers per section
Therefore, there are 11 flowers in each section.
To find the number of tulips in the arrangement, we need to calculate three-fifths of the total number of flowers:
(3/5) * 55 flowers = 33 tulips
Therefore, there are 33 tulips in the arrangement.
A florist is making a floral arrangement that has 55 flowers in it. Three out of every five of them are tulips
