Question

Uncle John has 30 lemon trees and 36 lime trees to plant on his grove. He would like to plant the trees in rows where each row has the same number of lemon trees and each row has the same number of lime trees. What is the greatest number of rows Uncle John can plant?

Answer 1

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.

Brainliest pls if it is correct!

Answer 2

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
