Answer:

4 flowers

Step-by-step explanation:

Sandy has 16 roses, 4 daisies, and 20 tulips.

We find the factors of 4, 16 and 20

The factors of 4 are: 1, 2, 4

The factors of 16 are: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

The factors of 20 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

Then the greatest common factor is 4.

Therefore, the greatest number of flowers that could be in a bouquet is 4 flowers
