Question 1

To find out how many seeds will be planted in each row, John can use the fact that he has 2,700 seeds and wants to divide them into 9 rows. The basic fact he can use in this case is:

2700 ÷ 9 = 300

Since this option isn't listed, let's use the intermediate step that would lead to this calculation. The correct answer from the options given would be:

270 ÷ 9 = 30

This allows him to see that the total seeds can be broken down into manageable numbers, leading ultimately to his final calculation.

Question 2

To find out how many seeds John will plant in each row, we perform the calculation:

\[ 2700 \div 9 = 300 \]

So, John will plant 300 seeds in each row.
