Question

Uncle John has 32 lemon trees and 28 lime trees to plant on his grove. He would like to plant the trees in rows where each row has the same number of lemon trees and each row has the same number of lime trees. What is the greatest number of rows Uncle John can plant?

Answer 1

The greatest number of rows is 10.

To find this you can do 32 plus 28 which equals 60 then you know 60 divided by 10 is 6 so you could have six rows and six columns or 10 rows and six columns and 10 is greater than six.

So, the greatest number of rows you can have is 10.
