Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Let's assume the expression from Activity 1 is 3c + 4r, where c represents the number of carnations and r represents the number of roses.

To distribute the carnations and roses equally among 6 flower shops, we can factor out 6 as the common factor.

Factoring out 6 from the expression 3c + 4r gives us:

6(1/2c) + 6(2/3r)

Simplifying, we get:

3c/2 + 8r/3

Therefore, the factored expression using 6 as the common factor is 3c/2 + 8r/3.
