Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we need an equal amount plants in each row, you have to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of 66 and 44.

The factors of 44 are: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44

The factors of 66 are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 11, 22, 33, 66

Therefore, the greatest factor of 66 and 44 is 22. This means Jason will have 3 rows of carrot plants and 2 rows of onion plants. Each row will have 22 plants.
