Robert planted 12 daffodil bulbs and 18 tulip bulbs in his garden last winter. If all the bulbs sprout and bloom this spring, what will be the ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden? Express as a simplified ratio???

Respuesta :

I have no idea. Here's a guess: 12:18 --> (divide them both by 6) = 2:3

Answer: 3:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of daffodil bulbs = 12

The number of tulip bulbs = 18

If all the bulbs sprout and bloom this spring, the ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden is given by :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Number of tulips}}{\text{Number of daffodils}}\\\\=\dfrac{18}{12}=\dfrac{3}{2}=3:2[/tex]

Hence, the  ratio of tulips to daffodils in Robert's garden is 3:2
