Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

this question is basically asking you to find the HCF of 30 and 36

step 1 : draw prime factor tree diagrams and write the numbers out as the product if their prime factors

step 2: multiply the prime factors they have in common

30 = 2 x 3 x 5

36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

HCF = 2 x 3 = 6

Answer: 6 rows of lemon trees and 6 rows of lime trees.

Steps: All you need to do is to find the highest common factor of 30 and 36, which is 6.

30 divided by 6 is 5 and 36 divided by 6 is 6. So uncle john can plant 5 lemon trees and 6 lime trees each row. That would make 6 rows of lemon trees and 6 rows of lime trees.
