Question

A florist had 24 white, 42 red and 36 yellow roses left. At most, how many identical bunches she make, if she wants to use all the remaining flowers​

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the highest common factor

The number of bunches must divide the number of white roses, the number of yellow roses and the number of red roses. The highest common factor of 24, 36 and 42 is 6, so the most bunches Flora can make is 6, each consisting of 4 white, 6 yellow and 7 red roses.
