Answer 1

Dear student,
​​​​​​Initially,
number of rose plants=480
number of sunflower plants = 360
40 more sunflowers are added in the garden
finally,
number of rose plants=480
number of sunflower plants = 360+40=400

​​​​​ the new ratio of rose and sunflower plants in the garden

= $\frac{480}{400}=\frac{2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 3\times 5}{2\times 2\times 2\times 2\times 5\times 5}=\frac{2\times 3}{5}=\frac{6}{5}$

​​​​​​So, the new ratio of rose and sunflower plants in the garden is 6:5
