Answer 1

Answer:

Since we have to find the highest number of rows if each row has the same number of Onion plants and Cabbage plants, we should find their Highest Common Factor i.e,

HCF(48,32) = ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a=48 and b=32

By Prime Factorisation Method,

48 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3

32 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

HCF(48,32) = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2

HCF = 16

Therefore the greatest number of rows should be 16.
