Question

A florist can order roses in bunches of 12 and lillies in bunches of 8 if she ordered 100 of each flower how many bunches of each could she have ordered

Answer 1

5 sets of lillies and 5 sets of lillies

Answer 2

9 bunches of roses and 13 bunches of lilies

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to divide:

100 ÷ 12 = 8.3333333

and

100 ÷ 8 = 12.5

Since you cannot order part of a bunch, round up.

So, the florist can order:

9 bunches of roses

and

13 bunches of lilies

Hope this helps :)
