Step-by-step explanation:
From the problem we know that:
Roses come in bunches of 12
Lilies come in bunches of 8
The number of Roses and Lilies were the same
1) We are looking for the multiple of 12 and 8. This would be 96. This could mean that there were 8 bunches of roses and 12 bunches of lilies. This would be a total of 20 bunches
Another option could be 48 of each. This would mean that there were 4 bunches of roses and 6 bunches of lilies. Giving a total of 10 bunches of flowers.
2) For this one, we are looking for the smallest multiple of both 8 and 12. This would be 24. That means that there would be 2 bunches of roses and 3 bunches of lilies. This would be a total of 5 bunches of flowers, the smallest number that could have been ordered.
