Question The ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2 . If the garden had 30 flowers, how many of them came from bulbs?(1 point)
There are 30 flowers in the garden. The ratio of flowers to bulbs is 10:8.
Let x be the number of bulbs in the garden.
Setting up a proportion:
10/8 = 30/x
Cross multiplying:
10x = 8*30
10x = 240
Dividing both sides by 10:
x = 24
So, 24 of the flowers in the garden came from bulbs.
