a florist is preparing bouquets of flowers for an exhibt.yhe florist has 84 tulips and 56 daisies.each bouquet will have the same number of tulips and the same number of daisies.how many bouquets can the florists make for this exhibit
Help with math plz show your work plz plz answer?
First factor 84 ............ 84 = 2 * 2 * 3 *7 ---%26gt;number of Tulips
Now factor 56..............56 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 7 ---%26gt;number of Daisies
Observe that 84 and 56 can both be divided by 28. The only factor that stands out are 3 and 2. this means we can have 28 bouquets, each consisting of 3 tulips, and 2 daisies. If you were expecting an equation, I couldn't come up with one. I had to use deductive reasoning to solve this one.
