Question

Samantha is making flower arrangements. She has 32 roses and 96 daisies. If she wants to make all the arrangements identical and have no flowers left over, how many daisies will be in each flower arrangement?

Answer 1

3 daisies.

Explanation:

Given that,

Samantha has 32 roses and 96 daisies.

She wants to make all the arrangements identical and have no flowers left over. We need to find the no of daisies in each flower arrangement.

For this, we need to first find the HCF of 32 and 96.

The factors of 32 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32

The factors of 96 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 96

HCF = 32

No of daisies = 96/32 = 3

Hence, there are 3 daisies in each flower arrangement.
