Answer 2

Therefore the maximum number of bouquets is 12.

Explanation:

Given that, Angelina has 24 tulip and 36 roses.

To find the number bouquets, we need the find out the g.c.d (greatest common divisor) of 24 and 36.

24= 2×2×2×3

36=2×2×3×3

The common factors are = 2,2,3

The g.c.d of 24 and 36 is =2×2×3

= 12

Therefore the maximum number of bouquets is 12.
