Answer: 12 Wreaths

Step-by-step explanation:

If he wants to have the same amount of each item on the wreaths, we need to find the factors of each to find the highest amount of wreaths he can make.

60=2×2×3×5=(2×2×3)×5

36=2×2×3×3=(2×2×3)×3

48=2×2×2×2×3=(2×2×3)×2×2

So, 2×2×3 is in each which is equal to 12 so he can make 12 wreaths with the amount and factor on each wreath below:

12 wreaths

5 bows on each

3 silk roses each

4 silk carnations each

Hope this helps! :)
