Q. In Sakura's garden, for every 5 red flowers, there are 10 yellow flowers. There are a total of 75 yellow and red flowers in her garden.How many red flowers are in Sakura's garden?red flowers
Understanding the Ratio: Understand the ratio of red to yellow flowers and the total number of flowers.Sakura's garden has a ratio of 5 red flowers to 10 yellow flowers. This ratio can be simplified to 1 red flower for every 2 yellow flowers. There are a total of 75 yellow and red flowers in her garden.
Calculating Total Parts: Calculate the total parts of flowers based on the simplified ratio.Since the ratio is 1 red flower to 2 yellow flowers, there are 3 parts in total (1 part red +2 parts yellow).
Determining the Value of One Part: Determine the value of one part.To find out how many flowers represent one part, we divide the total number of flowers by the total number of parts.Total number of flowers = 75Total parts = 3Value of one part = Total number of flowers / Total partsValue of one part = 75/3Value of one part = 25
Calculating the Number of Red Flowers: Calculate the number of red flowers.Since 1 part represents red flowers, we multiply the value of one part by the number of parts for red flowers.Number of red flowers = Value of one part × Number of parts for red flowersNumber of red flowers =25×1Number of red flowers =25
