Question

can put in each vase?

Answer 1

Answer:

18 number of daisies and 18 number of roses

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told Darrel has 36 daisies and 54 roses.

And that He wants to put an equal number of daisies and roses into vases.

To get the equal number, it means we have to find the greatest common factor of 36 and 54.

Factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36

Factors of 54 = 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18, 27, 54

From the factors of both 36 and 54, the greatest common factor to both of them is 18.

Thus, the GREATEST number of daisies and roses Darrel can put in each vase is 18 each
