Answer:
2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks what fraction of the flowers that Amos sold were marigolds, knowing that he sold:
The fraction will be calculated as:
number of marigolds sold / total of flowers sold
So first we need to calculate the total number of flowers that were sold:
total number of sold flowers = 48 + 96 = 144 flowers
So now we can calculate the fraction:
96 marigolds / 144 flowers = 96/144 = 2/3
(We go from 96/144 to 2/3 by simplifying the equation by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor)
2/3 of the sold flowers were marigolds
