Answer 2

Jasmine could have 84 bouquets with 1 flower in each,28 bouquets with 3 flower in each,12 bouquets with 7 flower in each or 4 bouquets with 21 flower in each.

Explanation:

The total number of flowers that jasmine has to make bouquets is 84.

We need to note that she want to use all the flowers.

Now let us write down all factors of 84.

84= 1 * 84 ....(1)

= 2 * 42 ....(2)

= 3 * 28 ....(3)

= 4 * 21 ....(4)

= 6 * 14 .....(5)

= 7 * 12 ....(6)

Now all we need is odd number of flowers in each bouquet,i.e,

All the numbers written in the right hand side of the above 1 to 6

numbered equations are factors of 84.

Since Jasmine wanted no flowers to be wasted so we can assume that number of flowers in each bouquet must be an odd factor of 84.

Therefore, odd factors of 84 are 1,3,7,21.

So Jasmine could have 84 bouquets with 1 flower in each,28 bouquets with 3 flower in each,12 bouquets with 7 flower in each or 4 bouquets with 21 flower in each.
