Answer:

A gardener planted sunflowers, roses and daisies in his garden in the ration of 1:2:4. If he had 98 flowers, how many sunflowers, roses and daisies were planted?

1:2:4 is the ratio of sunflower, roses, and daisies respectively. And if he had 98 flowers, what are the numbers of each flower?

Let x be the number.

1x + 2x + 4x  = 98

7x = 98

Divide both sides by 7.

x = 14

Then,

Sunflower: 1(x) = 1 (14) = 14

Roses: 2(x) = 2(14) = 28

Daisies: 4(x) = 2(14) = 56

Checking:

14 + 28 + 56 = 98

98 = 98

Final Answer:

There are 14 sunflowers, 28 roses, and 56 daisies in his garden.
