Answer :
We determine that there were 120 geraniums in the greenhouse.
To find out how many geraniums were in the greenhouse, we can set up a ratio using the information given: the ratio of petunias to geraniums is 15 to 2, and the combined number of petunias and geraniums is 1020. Let's denote the number of petunias as 15x and the number of geraniums as 2x. Adding these two amounts gives us the total number of plants: 15x + 2x = 1020.
Solving for x gives us 17x = 1020, so x = 1020 / 17. This simplifies to x = 60.
To find out the number of geraniums, we multiply the value of x by 2 (since the number of geraniums is 2 times x): 2x = 2 * 60 = 120. Therefore, there were 120 geraniums in the greenhouse.
Answer:
136
Step-by-step explanation:
divide 1020 by 15 = 68. 68 x 2 is 136
