every time Mr Frank buys 4 pots of flowers for the float, the flower shop will give him 1 pot free.After 4 weeks, he had 50 pots of flowers.How many pots did he get free?
He would have gotten 10 free.
Solve this proportion by cross multiplying and solving for x.
1/5 = x/50
Ya know it it’s 10
To solve this problem, we need to calculate how many pots Mr. Frank bought and how many pots he got for free.
Let's start by assuming that each week Mr. Frank buys 4 pots of flowers and gets 1 pot for free. This means that in a single week, he actually gets 5 pots of flowers (4 he buys + 1 he gets for free).
After 4 weeks, he had 50 pots of flowers. We can set up the following equation to represent the number of pots he had after 4 weeks:
4 * 5 = 50
Now, let's solve this equation:
20 = 50
To find the number of pots he got for free, we need to subtract the number of pots he bought from the total number of pots he had.
To solve for the pots he got for free:
Total pots - Bought pots = Pots got for free
50 - (4 * 4) = Pots got for free
50 - 16 = Pots got for free
34 = Pots got for free
Therefore, Mr. Frank got 34 pots for free.
