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.
