Answer:
25
Step-by-step explanation: Understand it as a ratio. 5:10. Add both ratios together, 15. Make an expression, 15x=75. x=5, Then multiply 10 and 5 by 5 and that will give you the ratio of 25:50 red to yellow flowers.
Answer:
25 red flowers
50 yellow flowers
Step-by-step explanation:
We can determine the ration of red flowers to yellow flowers is 5:10 which 1:2. Therefore every red flower there is 2 yellow flowers in the garden. If there is a total of 75 yellow and red flowers in the garden, we can calculate the number of yellow and red flowers because we know the ratio.
we can determine the percentage of yellow to red flowers:
If the possibility is 15 flowers, with five red flowers and 10 yellow flowers:
[tex]5/15=1/3[/tex]
[tex]10/15=2/3[/tex]
Therefore the amount of red flowers are:
[tex](1/3)\cdot{75}=75/3=25[/tex]
The amount of yellow flowers are:
[tex]=75-25=50[/tex]
There is 25 red flowers and 50 yellow flowers in the garden
