let w be the number of white flowerslet y be the number if yellow flowers
the number of white flowers to yellow flowers is approximately 3:5
sow divided by y = 3 divided by 5
w: y = 3:5
5 w = 3 y
w = 3y / 5
there are 160 seeds
so
y + w = 160 we replace the w in the equation w = 3y / 5
y + 3y/ 5 = 160
5y +3y = 160* 5
8y = 800
y = 800/8 = 100 the number of yellow flowers
and w = 160 - y = 160 - 100 = 60 the number of white flowers
