Joana picked 70 flowers — just because!
Two-fifths of the flowers are red. One-tenth of the flowers are yellow. The rest of the flowers are white.
What is the ratio of red flowers to white flowers? (Write your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.)
2/5 • 70 = 28 red
1/10 • 70 = 7 yellow —> total 35 red & yellow flowers
70 – 35 = 35 white
Red / White = 28 / 35 = 4 / 5
