Question

The ratio of pink roses bushes to white rose bushes in the city Garden is about 12 to 15. If there were 92 pink rose bushes, about how many white rose bushes with there be?

Answer 1

Answer:

$115\ white\ rose\ bushes$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the number of pink roses bushes

y----> the number of white rose bushes

we know that

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{12}{15}$

$y=\frac{15}{12}x$ -----> equation A

$x=92$

substitute the value of x in the equation A

$y=\frac{15}{12}(92)=115\ white\ rose\ bushes$
