In a flower garden, there are 5 tulips for every 7 daisies. If there are 30 tulips, how many daisies are there?
A.
40
B.
44
C.
42
D.
47
To find the number of daisies, we need to find the ratio between the number of tulips and daisies.
The ratio of tulips to daisies is 5:7.
Since there are 30 tulips, we can set up the proportion:
5 tulips / 30 tulips = 7 daisies / x daisies
Cross multiplying, we get:
5 * x daisies = 7 * 30 tulips
Dividing both sides by 5, we get:
x daisies = (7 * 30 tulips)/5
x daisies = 42 tulips
Therefore, there are 42 daisies in the flower garden.
The answer is C. 42
