Answer 2

Hi there! The answer is 30 rows.

Each row requires 1 / 3 square feet.
There is a total of 10 square feet.

To find the amount of rows, we must divide.
$10 \div \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{1} \times \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{1} \times \frac{3}{1} = \frac{30}{1} = 30$

Therefore, Peter can plant 30 rows of tomatoes.
