In a rose garden, the ratio of red rose bushes to yellow rose bushes to white rose bushes is 5 : 2 : 6. there are 24 more red rose bushes than yellow rose bushes in this garden. how many white rose bushes are there?

Step-by-step explanation:

no.of red rose bushes = 5x

no.of yellow rose bushes = 2x

no.of white rose bushes = 6x

5x - 2x = 24

        3x = 24

          x = 24/3

         x= 8

no.of white rose bushes = 6x = 6*8 = 48

Step-by-step explanation:

Red : Yellow : White

5     :       2     :    6

The question states that there are 24 more red roses bushes than white rose bushes.

This means that the difference between red and yellow is 24

3 in the ratio chart represents 24

3:24   =  1:8

Then substitute this into white bushes

1 : 8

x6

6 : 48

There are 48 white rose bushes
