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 :
