Answer 2

Answer:

There should be 9 pansies in each row ( 3 rows).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the gardener has 27 pansies and 36 daisies and he plants an equal number of each type of flower in each row.

In order to find the same, we can find the H.C.F of 27 and 36.

$27= 3\times 3\times 3\\36=2\times 2\times 3\times 3$

Therefore, H.C.F of 27 and 36 is given by

$H.C.F = 3 \times 3 = 9$

Therefore, there should be 9 pansies in each row ( 3 rows).
