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?
If the ratio of flowers to bulbs to seeds is 10:8:2, and the garden had 30 flowers, this means there are 10 parts in the ratio for flowers.
To find out how many flowers came from bulbs, we need to determine how many parts represent bulbs in the ratio.
10 parts of flowers represents 30 flowers, so 1 part represents 30/10 = 3 flowers.
Since bulbs represent 8 parts in the ratio and 1 part equals 3 flowers, the number of flowers that came from bulbs would be 8 parts x 3 flowers = 24 flowers.
Therefore, 24 of the flowers came from bulbs.
