In order to find the largest number of bouquets she can make without having any flowers left over, we need to find the common factor of 36, 27, and 18.
The factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.
The factors of 27 are: 1, 3, 9, and 27.
The factors of 18 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, and 18.
The common factor for all three numbers is 3.
Therefore, she can make the largest number of bouquets without any flowers left over is 3.
To find out how many roses will be in each bouquet, we divide the total number of roses (36) by the number of bouquets (3).
36 roses ÷ 3 bouquets = 12 roses per bouquet.
To find out how many tulips will be in each bouquet, we divide the total number of tulips (27) by the number of bouquets (3).
27 tulips ÷ 3 bouquets = 9 tulips per bouquet.
To find out how many carnations will be in each bouquet, we divide the total number of carnations (18) by the number of bouquets (3).
18 carnations ÷ 3 bouquets = 6 carnations per bouquet.
Therefore, each bouquet will have 12 roses, 9 tulips, and 6 carnations.
A florist has 36 roses, 27 tulips, and 18 carnations she must use to create bouquets. Each bouquet must have an equal number of each type of flower as the other bouquets. What is the largest number of bouquets she can make without having any flowers left over? How many roses will be in each bouquet? How many tulips will be in each bouquet? How many carnations will be in each bouquet?(4 points)
