To find the greatest number of plants Liam can put in one row, we need to find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers: 30 and 45.
First, let's find the factors of each number:
- The factors of 30 are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.
- The factors of 45 are 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, 45.
Now, let's find the common factors of 30 and 45, which are 1, 3, 5, and 15.
The largest common factor is 15. Therefore, the greatest number of plants Liam can put in one row is 15.
