You are decorating a Rose Bowl float. There are 108 red roses, 144 white roses, 48 yellow roses, and 72 purple roses. If bunches of roses are identical and there are no leftover roses, what is the greatest number of bunches that can be made? How many roses of each color are in each bunch?

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of red roses = 108

Number of white roses = 144

Number of yellow roses = 48

Number of purple roses = 72

If the number of roses in each bunch are identical,

Number of bunches of roses = HCF of number of roses

Factors of 144 = 3×3×2×2×2×2×1

Factors of 108 = 3×3×3×2×2×1

Factors of 72 = 3×3×2×2×2×1

Factors of 48 = 3×2×2×2×2×1

Common factors of 144, 108, 72, 48 = 3 × 2 × 2 × 1 = 12

Therefore, number of bunches of roses with equal number of roses = 12

Number of red roses in each bunch =

Number of white roses in each bunch =

Number of yellow roses in each bunch =

Number of purple roses in each bunch =

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

570, the answer is 570, hope it
