The ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2 . If the garden had 100 flowers, how many of them came from seeds?

1 answer

If the ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2, then for every 10 flowers, there are 2 seeds.

Therefore, if there were 100 flowers in the garden, there would be 100/10 = 10 sets of flowers.

Each set of flowers corresponds to 2 seeds, so there would be 10 x 2 = 20 seeds in total.

Thus, 20 of the flowers in the garden came from seeds.
