Ms. Larson bought 4 red roses and 16 purple tulips for the front yard. What is the ratio of roses to the total number of flowers?

Answer 1

Hi Rihanna,

The total number of flowers would be 20 (4 roses + 16 tulips = 20 total flowers).

The ratio of roses to the total would be :

4 roses = 1 rose in simplest form

20 total flowers 5 total flowers
