Solve for Red Flowers: Finding 8/9 of 36 in a Garden Problem

Let's split 36 into two fractions:

One that represents the white flowers

$\frac{1}{9}$

Now let's find the fraction that represents the red flowers:

$1-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{9}{9}-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{8}{9}$

Now let's multiply the number of flowers by the fraction that represents the red flowers:

$\frac{8}{9}\times36$

Let's multiply the numerator by 36:

$\frac{8\times36}{9}$

We'll divide both the numerator and denominator by 9

$\frac{8\times36:9}{9:9}=$

Let's first solve the division problems in the numerator and denominator and we get:

$\frac{8\times4}{1}=8\times4=32$
