Question

Red roses come 3 to a package, and white roses come 5 to a package. If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make bouquets, what is the minimum number of each that can be purchased?

Answer 1

Answer:

Well first, you want to find their least common multiple, which is 15.

So you want 15 red roses and 15 white roses.

In order to get that, you want 5 packages of red roses, because 3*5=15.

And you’ll want 3 packages of white roses because 5*3=15.

Answer 2

Answer:

find out the smaller multiple for both the no.s

for 3 and 5 it is 15..

so 15 flowers of each will be required

Red roses... 3x = 15

x= 5

white roses... 5y= 15

y= 3

so there will be 5 red rose packeages and 3 white rose packeages are required
