Answer:
18 white flowers
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given ratio:
Red : White
2 : 3
If Sally used 12 red flowers, how many white flowers will she use?
Let the number of white flowers Sally uses be represented by x
This is calculated as:
2/3 = 12/x
Cross Multiply
2 × x = 3 × 12
x = 3 × 12/2
x = 18 white flowers
Therefore, if Sally used 12 red flowers, the number of white flowers will she use is 18 white flowers.
