Answer:
99 dandelions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: ratio of dandelions to peonies in the garden was 11 to 4
Total number of peonies in the garden = 36
To find: Total number of dandelions in the garden
Solution:
A ratio indicates number of times one quantity contains another quantity.
[tex]\frac{Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions }{Number\,\,of\,\,peonies} =\frac{11}{4}\\\\\frac{Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions}{36} =\frac{11}{4}\\ Number\,\,of\,\,dandelions=(\frac{11}{4}) (36)=99[/tex]
So,
99 dandelions were there in the garden.
