Answer:

Dylan can plant maximum 8 plants.

Number of marigolds in each flower box  =8

Number of periwinkles in each flower box  =9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of marigolds = 64

Number of periwinkles = 72

To find the maximum number of flower boxes Dylan can plant, find H.C.F of 64 and 72.

64=2^6\\72=2^3\,\,3^2

So,

H.C.F(64, 72) = 2^3=8

That is Dylan can plant maximum 8 plants.

Number of marigolds in each flower box = \frac{64}{8}=8

Number of periwinkles in each flower box = \frac{72}{8}=9
