Answer 2

Answer:

The greatest number of bouquets the florist can make is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the GCF.

GCF= Greatest Common Factor

Venn diagram way:

15                                                18

/    \                                           /     \

3     5                                        2     9

                                                        /   \

                                                      3      3

So then...

Pretend there is a Venn diagram:

           15             CF              18

           5                3              3·2·9

3 is the GCF/answer
