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

Let's first split 36 into two fractions:

The one that represents the white flowers will be as follows:

$\frac{1}{9}$

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

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

Next, we'll multiply the number of flowers by the fraction that represents the red flowers:

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

Let's now multiply the numerator by 36:

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

We'll then divide both the numerator and denominator by 9:

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

Now we can solve the divisions in the numerator and denominator to get:

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