Find the total number of trees in the garden.​

Answer 1

Answer:

703

Step-by-step explanation:

let coconut tree be x

259/x=7/12

x=444

total trees = 444+259=703

Answer 2

Let the total number of trees be x

No. of mango trees be 7x

No. of coconut trees be 12x

Given,

No. of mango trees = 259

So,

7x=259

=>x=259/7=37

Therefore,

No. of coconut trees=12x37=444

Total number of trees =444+259=703
