A student council group is preparing flower arrangements for a nursing home. There are 162 roses, 108 dahlias, and 180

tulips to be used in the arrangements. The arrangements are identical and there are no leftover flowers.
How many roses, tulips, and dahlias are in each arrangement?

Answer:

Explanation:

since GCF(162,108,180)=18

and you have not mentionned it was the maximum of arrangements you want:


\begin{array}c\#arrangement&\#Roses&\#Dahlias&\#Tulips\\-------&-------&-------&-------\\1&162&108&180\\2&81&54&90\\3&54&36&60\\6&27&18&30\\9&18&12&30\\18&9&6&10\\-------&-------&-------&-------\\\end {array}
