Step-by-step explanation:
No. of red flowers in vase = 4
No. of white flowers in vase = 5
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 4:5
No. of red flowers in large arrangement = 32
No. of white flowers in large arrangement = w
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers = 32:w
Using proportion;
Ratio of red flowers to white flowers :: Ratio of red flowers to white flowers
Product of extreme = Product of mean
Dividing both sides by 4
