Trinity Thomas · Answer 1

200x1.22 = 244 yards

300-244 = 56 yards left.

56/100 = 14/25ths

=.56

Jadon · Answer 2

So 1.22 per large flower

200 large flowers

1.22 times 200=244 yards used

subtract

300-244=56

56=100 smal flowers

divide both sides by 100

0.56=1 small flower

the answer is 0.56 yards=1 flower
