Last weekend, morita used 10 daisies to make flower arrangements. How many flowers other than daisies did she use to make the arrangements? Explain your reasoning.

This is an incomplete word problem. I answered this before.

Given:

10 flowers in 1 arrangement

2 daisies in every 10 flowers

Morita needs to make 4 arrangements. Find number of daisies required in 4 arrangements.

1 arrangement:

2 : 10

4 arrangements

10 x 4 = 40 flowers.

4 x 2 daisies = 8 daisies.

Morita needs 8 daisies for the 4 flower arrangements.
