Kieran is going to the florist to buy foxgloves and orchids. The foxgloves can only be purchased in groups of 12 and the orchids can only be purchased in groups of 25. If Kieran wants to buy the same amount of foxgloves and orchids, then what is the lowest quantity of foxgloves that Kieran can buy? pls answer ASAP

Answer:

300.

This is the product of 12 x 25. The lowest possible number with questions like these is [number] multiplied by [number], and in this case that's 300.
