Question

Tamara makes 12 identical flower arrangements, each with 3 roses and some carnations. She uses a total of 96 flowers.

Answer 1

Answer:

5 carnations in each arrangement

Total of 60 carnations used

Step-by-step explanation:

First calculate how many flowers are in each arrangement by dividing the total number of flowers by the number of arrangements:

96 ÷ 12 = 8

Given each arrangement has 3 roses, subtract 3 from 8 to find the number of carnations in each arrangement:

8 - 3 = 5

Therefore, there are 5 carnations in each arrangement

Total number of carnations used = 5 x 12 = 60
