Answer: There are 12 greatest number of arrangements that she can make and every balloon is used.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of white balloons = 24

Number of blue balloons = 60

We need to find the greatest number of arrangements that she can make and every balloon is used.

So, For greatest number of arrangements we will find H.C.F.

So, H.C.F. of 24 and 60 = 12.

Hence, there are 12 greatest number of arrangements that she can make and every balloon is used.
