simon is making wreaths to sell. he has 60 bows,36 silk roses, and 48 silk carnations. he wants to put the same number of items on each wreath. all the items on a wreath will be the same type. How many items can simon put on each wreath

Respuesta :

48 on each wreath because 60+48+36=144. 144/3=48. therefore simon may put 48 on each wreath
60= 2×2×3×5= (2×2×3)×5
36= 2×2×3×3= (2×2×3)×3
48= 2×2×2×2×3= (2×2×3)×2×2
Greatest common factor is 2×2×3=12 so
12 wreaths and
5 bows, 3 silk roses, and 4 silk carnations on each wreath
