Alison is a buyer for a chain of 6 flower shops. This means that she buys flowers in bulk from a supplier and then distributes them to the 6 flower
shops in the chain.
Alison wants to distribute the carnations and roses equally among the
6 flower shops. Factor the expression from Part A using 6 as the common
factor. How does the factored expression help Alison determine how many
carnations and how many roses each flower shop should get?
There are 24 carnations in each bunch and 12 roses in each bunch. Use your
answer to Part B to determine the total number of carnations and the total
number of roses Alison will distribute to each flower shop this week.
This week Alison bought 108 bunches of carnations and 96 bunches of roses
from the supplier. Let c represent the number of carnations in each bunch,
and let r represent the number of roses in each bunch. Write an expression
to show the total number of carnations and roses that Alison bought.
