Since she can arrange it in sets
let N=total number of spoons so
N mod7 1 ---->7a+1=n where a is a natural num
N mod 8 7---->8b+7=n where b is a natural num
N mod 15 3----->15c+3=n where c is a natural n
for the first set {8,15,22,29,36,43,50,57,65,71....}
for the second set {15,23,31,39,47,55,63,71,79..}
for the third set {18,33,48,63,78,....}
and find them manually but what is easier is to solve them using algebra and logic (college level)
N=840m+183 where m is zero or a postive integer
so the only N below 200 is 183
let us check
183/7=26 R 1
183/8=22 R 7
183/15=12 R 3
which means our soultion is correct

Use the formula V = s³, where V is the volume and s is the edge length of the cube, to solve this problem.
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Given that volume is:
V=s³
where:
s=side length
The volume of a cube whose side length, s=3/4 yards will be given by:
V=(3/4)³
Simplifying this we get:
V=27/64 yd³

Answer: 27/64 yd³

Red flowers = 1/8

Purple = 1/4

(1/8 + 1/4) = (1 + 2) / 8 = 3/8

Fraction left :

1 - 3/8 =. 5/8

Pink flowers :

1/4 of fraction left ;

1/4 * 5/8 = 5/32

Number of pink flowers

Total number of flowers = 128

5/32 * 128

640 / 32

= 20
