Answer:

  2 petunias, 4 carnations, 5 pansies

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 8 = 4×2
  • 16 = 4×4
  • 20 = 4×5

The greatest common divisor of the numbers of flowers is 4, so we expect the problem is saying Luis will prepare this many flower pots.

Then in each pot, Luis will have ...

  • 2 petunias
  • 4 carnations
  • 5 pansies
