Question: If the ratio of red flowers to yellow flowers in the local park is 9:5 and there are approximately 1,000 flowers currently blooming in the park, about how many of them are yellow? You may need to round to the nearest whole number.
Answer: Let thenumber of red flowers be 9x and the number of yellow flowers be 5x, so 9x + 5x = 1000, so 14x = 1000, so x = 1000/14, so x = 71.4 So the number of yellow flowers is 5 x 71.4 = 357.
