Question

James works in a flower shop. He will put 60 tulips in vases for a wedding. He must use the same number of tulips in each vase. The number of tulips in each vase must be greater than 1 and less than 10.

Answer 1

Answer: a. 1, 3, 5, 15

Explanation:

If he needs to put an equal number of tulips in each vase he uses, the number of vases will have to be multiples of 15.

The multiples of 15 are;

1, 3, 5, and 15.

James can therefore put;

• 1 tulip in 15 vases
• 3 tulips in 5 vases
• 5 tulips in 3 vases
• 15 tulips in 1 vase
