Me with my question, (by the way the ratio is 12 to 36) "jorge wants the ratio of tulips to daisies in his garden to be 2 to 5. he does not want to take any flowers out of his garden. how many of what type of flower should he plant in order to get the desired ratio? "

To answer this, you would use the original ratio of 2 to 5 and create an equivalent ratio that includes the 12 tulips. You would get a ratio of 12 to 30. This is not enough daisies.

I then tried 2/5 times 7/7, but it still did not reach the 36 daisies that are there. When you use a factor of 8, you will get 16 tulips to 40 daisies. This works!

You would need to add 4 tulips and 4 daisies to what he already has.

Y’all got to do it all over
