Respuesta :

Answer:

Greatest number of flowers that can be used in a bouquet is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question greatest number of flowers used in a bouquet will be decided by the "Greatest Common Factor" of the numbers of the flowers given.

So, factors of 16 = 1×2×2×2×2

Factors of 8 = 1×2×2×2

Factors of 32 = 1×2×2×2×2×2

Common factors = 1×2×2×2

Greatest Common Factor of these numbers will be = 1×2×2×2 = 8.

Therefore, greatest number of flowers that could be in a bouquet is 8.
