Well, youlook at the ratio and see that it is 3-6, total out of 9 flowers: 3pink and 6blue. You divide 72 by 9 to put it in the context of the ratio and get 8. Next you multiply 8 by 3, and you get 24/72 flowers are pink.

3+6=9, 9/72=8, 8*3=24 pink, 24/72 flowers are pink

if its 3:6 then you know the total is 9. so you take that 72 and put it where the six is so it is 3:72. then you divide 3 into 72 which equals 24 so 24 of the flowers are pink.l
