Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation

From the question we are told that 35 plants are in 5 rows, using proportion, we are to determine the number of plants that will be in 1 row;

Using proportion;

35 plants = 5 rows

x plants = 1 row

Cross multiply

5 * x = 35 * 1

5x = 35

Divide both sides by 5;

5x/5 = 35/5

x = 7

Hence the missing number that will complete the proportion is 7.
