Raj gave his mother a bouquet of 12 pink and white roses. There were 4 pink roses in the bouquet. Which ratio represents the number of white roses to the total number of roses in the bouquet?

Respuesta :

It is either 8/12 or 2/3

Answer:

The ratio is 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Raj gave his mother a bouquet of 12 pink and white roses.

The amount of  pink roses in a bouquet = 4

The amount of white roses in the bouquet = 12 - 4 = 8

Ration of white roses in the bouquet = [tex]\frac{8}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = 2 : 3

The ratio is 2 : 3 represents the number of white roses to the total number of roses in the bouquet.
