ratio of tulips to roses is 17 to 11.
if there are 3444 tulips and roses in the garden, how many are tulips?
if the ratio holds, then the number of tulips and roses in the garden will be a multiple of 17 and 11.
let x be that multiple.
this means that:
17x + 11x = 3444 which means that 28x = 3444 which leads to x = 3444/28 = 123
28*123 = 34444
17*123 = 2091
11*123 = 1353
2091 + 1353 = 3444
there are 2091 roses and 1353 tulips.
the ratio of roses to tulips is 2091/1353 = 17/11.
