A. 28 vases
none left back


dozen means 12 so multiply that by 14 which is 168 then you would divide by 6 and get 28
so the pta could sell 28 vases for the fundraiser

Answer:

They will be able to sell 28 vases, with none left over.

Explanation:

We do 14x12, since it is 14 dozens. It is 168. Then we divide by six since there are 6 roses in each vase. We get 28 with no remainders, meaning there are none left over.
