Marta can make 12 displays.

Answer 2

Answer: 12

Explanation:

Given : Marta took 48 pictures of flowers and 36 pictures of beautiful scenery.

She wants to display the pictures so there is the are same number of each kind of picture in each display she can display.

Then, the greatest number of displays she can make = GCF (48, 36)

[GCF= Greatest common factor]

Prime factorization of 48 and 36 :-

`48=2*2*2*2*3\\\\36=2*2*3*3`

GCF(48,36)=
`2*2*3=12`

Hence, the greatest number of displays she can make=12
