Floral designers often create arrangements where the flower height to container ratio is 5 to 3. A certain museum wishes to create a floral display for the opening of a new show. They know they want to use an antique vase from their collection that is 17 inches high. How tall will the entire flower arrangement be if they use this standard ratio?

Sagot :

Set up a proportion of 5 over 3 and then x over 17
Cross multiply to get 17x=85
Then divide by 17
To get x to equal 28.33.
x=total height.
