Sally is making bouquets of flowers with the ratio of red to white flowers being 2:3. If Sally used 12 red flowers, how many white flowers will she use?

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.
