Answer: No, Ben is not correct because Ben missed to write 8 as factor of 32.
After including 8 as common factor of 32, the actual greatest common factor of 24,32 and 36 = 8
⇒ They can put 8 plants in each row.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The Garden Club is designing a garden with 24 cosmos,32 pansies,and 36 marigolds.
Since Ben missed to write 8 as factor of 32.
Therefore, he observed that the greatest common factor = 6 and said he can put 6 plants in each row.
But after including 8 as common factor of 32, the actual greatest common factor of 24,32 and 36 = 8
Hence, they can plant 8 plants of same type in each row .
