Jethro is planting flowers in his garden. He wants the ratio of tulips to roses to be 6 to 1. Jethro wants to plant a total of 56 flowers . How many tulips should he plant

He should plant 48 tulips.

Lets start by using the ratio 6:1 to represent that for every 6 tulips there are 1 rose.

Simply keep adding 6 to the left side of the ratio and 1 to the right side until the total of the ratio is 56 flowers.

6:1            6 + 1 = 7

12:2          12 + 2 = 14

18:3           18 + 3 = 21

24:4           24+4=28

30:5           35 + 5 = 40

36:6            36+6=42

42:7              42 + 7 = 49

48:8               48 + 8 = 56 total flowers

So, he should plant 48 tulips.
