Question

Simon had 28 flowers in his garden. 13 flowers wilted. What fraction of flowers are still blooming in his garden now?

• A. $\frac{13}{28}$
• B. $\frac{15}{28}$
• C. $\frac{13}{15}$
• D. $\frac{5}{15}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{15}{28}$

Number of flowers in Simon's garden = 28

Number of flowers that wilted = 13

Number of flower that are still blooming = Total number of flowers - Number of flowers that wilted

Number of flowers still blooming = 28 - 13 = 15

The fraction of flowers that are still blooming = $\frac{15}{28}$
