Question

A flower store has 42 carnations and 21 pansies. It puts the same number of flowers in each of 7 bouquets.

Answer 1

42 carnations / 7 bouquets would equal 6 carnations per bouquet
21 pansies / 7 bouquets would be 3 pansies per bouquet

there would be 6 carnations and 3 pansies in each bouquet equaling in 9 flowers per bouquet 

Answer 2

First you add 42 + 21 and that equals 63

Next you divide 63 by 7 which is nine

So the answer is that there are 9 flowers in each bouquet
