The greatest number of flowers is 28. The partial quotients are 4 and 7. The greatest number of flowers is 28. The partial quotients are 4 and 12. The greatest number of flowers is 48.

Answer 1

To find out how many blue flowers Lara can use for each wreath when she has 7 dozen blue flowers, we first need to determine the total number of flowers she has.

Since 1 dozen is 12 flowers, then 7 dozen flowers equals:

\[ 7 \times 12 = 84 \text{ flowers} \]

Lara is selling wreaths at 4 craft shows, so to find out how many flowers she can use for each show, we will divide the total number of flowers by the number of shows:

\[ \frac{84 \text{ flowers}}{4 \text{ shows}} = 21 \text{ flowers per show} \]

Now, we can look at the provided responses to see which one matches our finding.

• The options mention partial quotients and corresponding greatest numbers of flowers.
• The relevant option states: The partial quotients are 20 and 1. The greatest number of flowers is 21.

The correct response is:

The partial quotients are 20 and 1. The greatest number of flowers is 21.
