Did you know that fractions are a way to represent parts of a whole? In the given scenario, Cecil bought 11 roses, with 4 being white. We also learn that there were 2 more red roses than white ones. With this information, we can determine that 6 roses were red (4 white + 2 more red). So, out of the 11 roses, we know that 4 were white, 6 were red, and the remaining roses were pink. To find the fraction of pink roses, we subtract the number of white and red roses (4 + 6 = 10) from the total number of roses (11) to get 1. Therefore, 1 out of the 11 roses were pink, which can be represented as the fraction 1/11.
