Answer 16

let's see.. we can re-write the ratios as fractions

so given
roses to snapdragons was 4 to 5.

4 roses: 5 snapdragons

now we are given 26,000 roses and ? snapdragons so that's the unknown we need to solve for
\[\large \frac{4}{5}=\frac{26,000}{x}\]
then we can use cross multiplication
\[\large 4(x) = 26,000(5)\]
\[\large 4x = 130,000\]

dividing 4 on both sides gives me
\[\large x=32,500\] snapdragons

so our ratio is
26,000 roses to 32,500 snapdragons
or 26,000:32,500

yes @heretohelpalways you've done it right.
