Question

Rose picked 18 tulips and 20 daffodils. She divided the flowers into groups so that the same number of tulips and daffodils were in each bouquet. What is the greatest number of bouquets she could have made?

Answer 1

That depends on how many flowers we keep in each bouquet.

If 1 tulip & 1 daffodil is kept in a bouquet , then the greatest no. of bouquets she'll make = 18

If 2 tulips & 2 daffodils is kept in a bouquet , then the greatest no. of bouquets she'll make = 9

If 3 tulips & 3 daffodils is kept in a bouquet , then the greatest no. of bouquets she'll make = 6

If 6 tulips & 6 daffodils is kept in a bouquet , then the greatest no. of bouquets she'll make = 3

If 18 tulips & 18 daffodils is kept in a bouquet , then the greatest no. of bouquets she'll make = 2

but somehow 2 daffodils will be left .

Answer 2

The greatest number of bouquets Rose could have is 2. 9 of each flower in each bouquet.
