Making up the number of daisies. The method will be the same.

Explanation:

Suppose we had 34 daisies and 17 roses.

$color(white)()$

Format 1: daisies to roses $\to 34 : 17$ $-> 34:17$

$color(white)()$

Format 2: $\frac{daisies}{roses} \to \frac{34}{17}$ $("daisies")/("roses") -> 34/17$

$color(white)()$

Format 3: The count of daisies for 1 rose.

$ddddddd \frac{daisies}{roses} \to \frac{34 \div 17}{17 \div 17} = \frac{2}{1} = 2$ $color(white)("ddddddd") ("daisies")/("roses")->(34-:17)/(17-:17)=2/1=2$

This format is used in Trigonometry which you will come across later in your schooling live.
