Answer:

13 carnations

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you meant 2/5 because 2.5 would mean there are more roses in the vase than there are flowers in the vase, heres how to solve this.

Understanding

Each fraction is referring to "flowers" not "remaining flowers" and as such each time we will be comparing to the total.

2/5 of the total flowers are roses. This is written in words as for every 5 flowers two are roses, which means we will multiply 2 by how many sets of five we have in 30 flowers.

(30/5) x 2 =

(6) x 2 = 12 roses

Though with fractions its written as 30/1*2/5 which is the same as (30 x 2)/5

60/5 = 12 roses

Following this logic for every 6 flowers one is a daisy.

30/1 * 1/6 = (30 x 1)/6 = 30/6 = 5 daisies

Because the rest are carnations we want to subtract the amount of daisies and roses from the total amount of flowers to find the remaining flowers.

30 - 5 - 12 = 13 carnations

Hope this helps,

Solve for x y=c(x+b)
sergeinik [125]

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this literal equation, I would first distribute the C through the parentheses to get y = cx + cb.

Now subtract cb from both sides to get y - cb = cx.

Finally, divide both sides by c to get y - cb / c = x.
