Question

You are making bouquets to sell. You have 60 roses, 84 daisies, and 24 lilies. Each bouquet will have the same number of each kind of flower. You want to use all of the flowers. What is the greatest number of bouquets you can make?

A) 4 bouquets
B) 6 bouquets
C) 12 bouquets
D) 24 bouquets

Answer 1

You are looking for the greatest common factor. In this case, the answer is 12. Each bouquet has 5 roses, 7 daisies, and 2 lilies. 

Answer 2

12 bouquets.
12 is the only number that is divisible by 24, 60, and 84. So that is your only option.
