Question

In a bouquet of flowers, there are daisies and 17 roses. How do you write the ratio of daisies to roses in three different ways?

Answer 1

Making up the number of daisies. The method will be the same.

Explanation:

Suppose we had 34 daisies and 17 roses.

`color(white)()`

Format 1: daisies to roses `-> 34:17`

`color(white)()`

Format 2: `("daisies")/("roses") -> 34/17`

`color(white)()`

Format 3: The count of daisies for 1 rose.

`color(white)("ddddddd") ("daisies")/("roses")->(34-:17)/(17-:17)=2/1=2`

This format is used in Trigonometry which you will come across later in your schooling live.
