"Arithmetic word problems 2

Ashley is a farmer. She plants 27 carrots in a field, and each row has 9 carrots.

How many rows of carrots did Ashley plant in the field?"

As stated in the problem, the answer should be 27 carrots, but that is coming up wrong. I believe what you mean to ask is how many rows are there, or the statement should say that 27 carrots in each row, not in the field.
