Question

Answer 1

The greatest number of plants Mr. Forest can have in each row is 6, resulting in 3 rows of peppers and 4 rows of green beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Forest has 18 peppers and 24 green bean plants to place in adjacent sections of his garden and he wants the same number of plants in each row.

To determine the greatest number of plants he can have in each row, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 18 and 24. The GCD of 18 and 24 is 6, meaning the greatest number of plants he can have in each row is 6. Now we can calculate the total number of rows.

For the peppers: 18 peppers ÷ 6 plants per row equals 3 rows of peppers. For the green beans: 24 green bean plants ÷ 6 plants per row equals 4 rows of green beans.

Hence, Mr. Forest will have 3 rows of peppers and 4 rows of green beans, with 6 plants in each row.
