Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that for every 5 yellow flowers, there are 9 total flowers,

i.e yellow flowers : total flowers = 5:9

Expressed as a fraction:

yellow flowers as a fraction of total flowers = 5/9

given there are 45 flowers in total

number of yellow flowers = yellow flowers as a fraction of total flowers x total flowers

= (5/9) x 45

= 25
