Question The ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2 . If the garden had 30 flowers, how many of them came from bulbs?(1 point)

Answer 1

There are 30 flowers in the garden. The ratio of flowers to bulbs is 10:8.

Let x be the number of bulbs in the garden.

Setting up a proportion:

10/8 = 30/x

Cross multiplying:

10x = 8*30

10x = 240

Dividing both sides by 10:

x = 24

So, 24 of the flowers in the garden came from bulbs.
