Answer:

Below!

Explanation:

  • 1 vase = 12 flowers
  • => 8 vases = 96 flowers

We can clearly see that the maximum flower vases Ben can use is 8 because if Ben used 9 vases, he would not have enough flowers. Hence, Ben needed 8 vases. To check for remainders, we will subtract 96 from 100. As a result, we got 4. Hence, he had 4 flowers remaining.

Hope this helped!

Answer:8 vases, 4 flowers leftover

Explanation:

100 flower divided by 12 in each = about 8 vases.Then 8 times 12 equals 96 flowers that will be put in a vase, and 100-96 = 4 flowers leftover.
