Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is 9 pansies per row.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Pansies = 27

Daisies = 36

Process

1.- Find the GCF

                                  27   36   2

                                  27   18    2

                                  27     9   3

                                    9     3   3

                                    3      1   3

                                     1

2.- Conclusion

The GCF is the product of the prime numbers that divide both numbers at the same time.

In this example, the GCF is 3x 3 = 9

Then, the greatest number of Pansies is 9
