Answer 8

You need to first see what the question is.
You are looking for a ratio.
A ratio can be written as a fraction.

\(\dfrac{~~~~~~~~~~}{}\)

Above is a fraction line.

Now we see what to write on the fraction.

Answer 9

The question is:
Ratio of roses to total number of flowers.
We know the number of roses because we are given that number.

\(\dfrac{number~of~roses}{total~number~of~flowers } = \dfrac{20} {}\)

We need to total number of flowers.
12 tulips + 20 roses = 32 flowers.

\(\dfrac{number~of~roses}{total~number~of~flowers } = \dfrac{20} {32}\)

Answer 10

Now we reduce 20/32 until we can't reduce it anymore.

\(\dfrac{number~of~roses}{total~number~of~flowers } = \dfrac{20} {32} = \dfrac{10}{16} = \dfrac{5}{8}\)
