Sagot :

Certainly! Let's determine the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers based on the given data.

Here are the numbers provided:
- Number of purple flowers: 669
- Number of white flowers: 221

The ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is calculated by dividing the number of purple flowers by the number of white flowers:

[tex]\[ \text{Ratio} = \frac{\text{Number of purple flowers}}{\text{Number of white flowers}} = \frac{669}{221} \][/tex]

When we simplify the ratio:

[tex]\[ \text{Ratio} \approx 3.0271493212669682 \][/tex]

So, the ratio of purple flowers to white flowers is approximately 3.027:1.
