Answer:

The total number of flowers in Mrs. Garcia's garden is 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of lilies to daisies is 3:2 and there are 15 lilies. We need to compute the number of daisies first and then add both the number of daisies and lilies to compute the total number of flowers. Using the ratio method:

Lilies : Daisies

3 : 2

15 : x

By cross multiplying we get:

3x = 15*2

3x = 30

x = 10

Hence, the total number of flowers in the garden are:

10 + 15 = 25

The total number of flowers in Mrs. Garcia's garden is 25.

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the number of lilies = 15

Given ratio = 3:2

Let the total number of flowers be X

Let the number of daisies be 'a'

3/2 = 15/a

3×a = 2×15

3a = 30

a = 30/3

a = 10

X = number of lilies + number of daisies

X = 15 + 10

X = 25
