Question

Seema has 56 roses, 63 tulips and 49 lilies to use for flower
arrangements. She wants to keep the arrangements identical in each room.
What is the maximum number of rooms where she can arrange the
flowers? What will be the number of each variety of flowers in each room?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution is quite simple, if you start with the “All but 2” first:

Roses = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a rose; one tulip, one daisy

Daisies = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a daisy; one rose, one tulip

Tulips = All but 2 = Two flowers are not a tulip; one rose, one daisy

Answer: One rose, one daisy, one tulip.
