Heidi has 40 flower arrangemts. Rose arrangements are 4 times as many as tulips how many of each do I have
tulips = t
roses = 4 t
t + 4 t = 40
5 t = 40
t = 8
4 t = 32
Thanks so much!
You are welcome.
Well, with 40 flower arrangements in total, we'll need to use some math tricks to figure out the number of arrangements for each type of flower. Let's say the number of tulip arrangements is "x".
Now, the problem tells us that the number of rose arrangements is 4 times the number of tulip arrangements. So, the number of rose arrangements would be 4x.
Since we know that Heidi has 40 flower arrangements in total, we can write an equation based on that:
x + 4x = 40
This equation represents the sum of the number of tulip arrangements (x) and the number of rose arrangements (4x), which equals 40.
Simplifying this equation, we get:
5x = 40
Now, to find the value of x, we divide both sides by 5:
x = 8
So, Heidi has 8 tulip arrangements and 4 * 8 (32) rose arrangements.
Voila! Now go and enjoy the beautiful arrangements!
To determine the number of rose and tulip arrangements Heidi has, we can set up a system of equations.
Let's say the number of tulip arrangements is represented by "T" and the number of rose arrangements is represented by "R".
Given that Heidi has a total of 40 flower arrangements, we can write the equation:
T + R = 40 ----(equation 1)
It is also given that the number of rose arrangements is 4 times as many as tulip arrangements. So we can write another equation:
R = 4T ----(equation 2)
Now, we can use simultaneous equations to solve for T and R.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1:
T + 4T = 40
Combine like terms:
5T = 40
Divide both sides by 5:
T = 8
Now substitute the value of T back into equation 2 to find R:
R = 4T
R = 4 * 8
R = 32
Therefore, Heidi has 8 tulip arrangements and 32 rose arrangements.
