Explanation:
______________________________________________
Total number of flowers  =  2 daisies  +  3 sunflowers + 4 tuplies ;
                               
                                         =  { 2 + 3 + 4 }  flowers ; 

                                         =  { 9 flowers total} ; 
________________________________________________
There are:  " 3 sunflowers " .

The problem/question is:
________________________________________________
→       " What is the ration of sunflowers planted to the total number of             flowers? "
________________________________________________
         →  3 sunflowers : 9 flowers total ;

write as:

          →  3 : 9   ;    or, write as:  $\frac{3}{9}$ ;
________________________________________________    
Simplify:
________________________________________________
          →  3/9  =  (3÷3) / (9÷3)  =  1/3 ;

The answer is:  " 1 : 3 " ;  or, write as:  " $\frac{1}{3}$ " .
