When you get home to plant the flowers, you have 3 different flowerbeds that you plan on planting flowers in.

1. You have two flowerbeds where you want the same ratio for tulips to geraniums.
- In one of these flowerbeds, you have 4 tulips and 3 geraniums.
- In the other flowerbed, you have 6 geraniums.

- How many tulips should there be in the second flowerbed to maintain the same ratio of tulips to geraniums as in the first flowerbed?

2. How many total geranium flowers are used in these two flowerbeds?

3. How many total tulip flowers are to be used in these two flowerbeds?

4. How many of each type of flower do you have left to use in the remaining flowerbed?

Answer :

1) There should be 8 tulips in the second flowerbed.

2) The first flowerbed has 4 tulips and the other has 8. So all together 12 tulips are used in those two glowerbeds.

3) I'm sorry. I can't answer this one.
