Question

Sara wants to plant 48 watermelon seeds and 16 cantaloupe seeds. She would like to plant them so that there are the same number of plants in each row, and each row only has one type of plant.

Answer 1

To plant the watermelon and cantaloupe seeds so that there are the same number of plants in each row, and each row only has one type of plant, you need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers, 48 and 16.

The GCD of 48 and 16 is 16.

So, you can plant 16 watermelon seeds in each row and 16 cantaloupe seeds in each row. This way, you will have the same number of plants in each row, and each row will contain only one type of plant
