How much more of the first bunch is roses than the second bunch?

Question

Emilio puts the same number of flowers in each of two bunches. the first bunch is 3/4 roses and the second bunch is 1/3 roses. How much more of the first bunch is roses than the second bunch?

Answer 1

If X = the number of flowers in each bunch, the first had 3/4 X roses and the 2nd 1/3 X.

So the first bunch had 3/4 X - 1/3 X = (3/4 - 1/3) X = (9/12 - 4/12) X = 5/12 X more roses
