Answer:
3 carnations.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a florist divided 147 roses into bunches of 6. She had some roses left over.
Let us find the number of leftover roses by taking the largest multiple of 6 out of 147 or finding the remainder of 147 divided by 6 as:
6)147( 24
12
27
24
3
Since remainder is 3, so florist had 3 roses leftover.
We are also told that she combined the leftover roses with carnations to get a total of 6 flowers.
To find the number of carnation used by florist we will subtract number of roses from combined number of flowers.
[tex]\text{Carnation}=\text{Combined flowers}-\text{Roses}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Carnation}=6-3[/tex]
[tex]\text{Carnation}=3[/tex]
Therefore, the florist used 3 carnations.
