Answer 1

Answer: the greatest number of trees that ElizaBeth can have in a row is 30

Explanation:

given data:

citrus trees = 150

palm trees = 180

As we have to find the greatest number of trees that Elizabeth can have in a​ row, we will find the GCF or greatest common factor.

150 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

180 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5

Greatest common factor is = 2 x 3 x 5 = 30

Therefore, the largest number of trees that ElizaBeth can have in a row is 30.
