Every 3rd dress has a blue bow, every 8th dress has a white bow and every 4th dress has a red bow.  If 150 dresses come off the line, how many dresses have all three bows on them?  I had her take the total dresses over the number of each color bow ie:  150/3 = number or dresses with blue bows, but I can not figure out how to get the number of dresses with all 3 bows.  Thank you. </SPAN>\n" );
