Answer 1

Hey..

Here is your answer --

Let the total number of flowers she had in the beginning be x

Flowers used in the first temple = 1/2x = x/2

Flowers used in the second temple = 1/2 × 1/2x = 1/4x = x/4

Flowers used in the third temple = 1/2 × x/4 = 1/8x = x/8

x/2 + x/4 + x/8 + 6 = x

4x+2x+x+48/8 = x

7x+48/8 = x

7x+48 = 8x

7x-8x = -48

-x = -48

x = 48
