A customer wants to buy 60 flowering plants. He wants 1/2 of them to be marigolds. He wants 1/3 of them to be pansies, and 1/4 of them to be petunias.
How many of each type of flowering plant will he buy?
+37166 The numbers do not add up..... 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 13/12 which is greater than 1 whole .....
the approximate numers of each would be
60 * 1/2 = 30 marigolds
60 * 1/3 = 20 pansies
60 * 1/4 = 15 petunias ( which adds to 65 plants because the fractions add to more than one)
+37166 NO......there are 3 answers .... how many of each type though the answers are not exactly correct......did you read my explanation or just 'look for an answer'?
