    There would be 9 roses.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The ratio began as 3 to 5 so in all there were 8 flowers.

    If there are 24, being that 8 x 3 = 24, then all you have to is multiply both sides of the ratio by 3.

    3 x 3 = 9

    5 x 3 = 15

    9 + 15 = 24

    New ratio is 9 to 15
