Answer 2

Ok, the first number it says to compare it to is ALWAYS the top numbber in the fraction (numerator). So, for question 1, Flora's TULIPS will be the top number. The second number it is comparing it to is ALWAYS the bottom number of the fraction (denominator). So, for question 1, Flora's ROSES would be the bottom number. Tell me if you still need help with this.
