Answer: There were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A flower shop sold 3.5 times as many roses as lilies .

Let the number of roses be x and the number of lilies be y.

According to the question,

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{3.5}{1}\\\Rightarrow\frac{x}{y}=\frac{35}{10}\\\Rightarrow\frac{x}{y}=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, there were 7 roses sold for every 2 lilies.
