Ana is making bouquets of flowers. For every
\[3\] roses there are
\[7\] carnations. She uses the ratio
\[3\] to
\[10\] to represent the ratio of roses to total number of flowers.
Complete the table to show the ratio of roses to total number of flowers written as a fraction and decimal.

To solve this, we need to express the ratio of roses to the total number of flowers as both a fraction and a decimal.

We are given:

- The ratio of **roses to carnations** is 3 to 7.
- The ratio of **roses to the total number of flowers** is 3 to 10, since the total number of flowers is 3 roses + 7 carnations = 10 flowers.

Now, let's complete the table based on the ratio of **roses to total flowers**.

### Step 1: Ratio as a fraction
The ratio of roses to total flowers is 3:10, which can be written as the fraction:
\[
\frac{3}{10}
\]

### Step 2: Ratio as a decimal
To express the ratio as a decimal, divide 3 by 10:
\[
\frac{3}{10} = 0.3
\]

### Summary of the table:

| **Ratio of Roses to Total Flowers** | **Fraction** | **Decimal** |
|-------------------------------------|--------------|-------------|
| 3:10                                | \(\frac{3}{10}\) | 0.3        |
