Sherry is the sole proprietor of a successful flower shop. In Sherry’s flower shop the ratio of roses to lilies is 4 to 3. The ratio of Lilies to peonies is 4 to 1. What is the ratio of roses to peonies?

Respuesta :

Answer: 16/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of roses be x.

Let the amount of lilies be y.

Let the amount of peonies be z.

x/y = 4/3 and y/z = 4 We want x/z.

Multiplying these to equations, x/y * y/z, note that the ys cancel out, and we are left with x/z, as desired. 4/3 * 4 = 16/3. :)
