If Callie picks four tulips per daisy, and Callie;s mother gave her six tulips, how many daisies does she have?
Well, the ratio 4:1 represents the number of tulips to daisies.
If Callie had six tulips, we next need to find out how many tulips has after she picked three daisies.
We know that our ratio s 4:1, and wit our new amount of daisies, we have x:3.
Multiply 3 and 4 to find the total amount of tulips Callie has to have after she picked the three daisies.
She should have 12 tulips, plus the tulips her mother gave her.
12+6= 18.
Callie has 18 tulips.
Hope this helps!
