Question

in sakuras garden, for every 5 red flowers, there are 10 yellow flowers. there are a total of 75 yellow and red flowers in her garden. how many red flowers are in sakuras garden? red flowers related content part to whole ratio word problem using tables

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of red to total flowers

The ratio of red to yellow flowers is \( 5:10 \), so the ratio of red to total flowers (red + yellow) is \( 5:(5 + 10)=5:15=\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3} \).

Step2: Calculate the number of red flowers

Let the number of red flowers be \( x \). We know that \( \frac{x}{75}=\frac{1}{3} \). Cross - multiplying gives \( 3x = 75 \), and then \( x=\frac{75}{3}=25 \).

Answer:

25
