6+8+32 =56 total of flowers and if you divided into bouquets you would have 8 bouquets each 2 roses 1 daisy and 4 tulips

Answer 2

Answer:

8 flowers is the greatest number that can be in each buquet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandy has

• 16 roses.
• 8 daisies.
• 32 tulips.

She wants to arrange these type of flowers in buquets, but she wants to have equal number of flowers in each buquet.

To answer this question, we have to calculate the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), which is the largest number that can divide 16, 8 and 32.

To calculate the GCF we write down the divisors of all numbers

$8: 1, 2, 4, 8.\\16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16.\\32: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32$

You can observe that the largest common number that divides equally all three numbers is 8.

Therefore, the greatest number of flowers that could be in a bouquet is 8.
