3) in an orchard, there are 3 apple tree 2 pear trees and 4 cherry tree what fraction of the trees are pear trees?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of trees in an Orchard = 150
Number of Apple tress out of 150 trees = 65
Number of Pear trees out of 150 trees = 35
Now,
Number of Orange trees = 150 - (65 + 35)
= 150 - 100
= 50
The number of Orange trees out of 150 trees = 50
To be found :
(a) Ratio of Apple to Pear trees
(b) Ratio of Oranges to Apple trees
(c) Ratio of Pear to total trees
So,
(a) Ratio of Apple to Pear trees
= \frac{65}{35}
35
65
= \frac{13}{7}
7
13
= 13:7
(b) Ratio of Oranges to Apple trees
= \frac{50}{65}
65
50
= \frac{10}{13}
13
10
= 10:13
(c) Ratio of Pear to total trees
= \frac{35}{150}
150
35
= \frac{7}{30}
30
7
= 7:30
Hence,
(a) Ratio of Apple to Pear trees is 13:7
(b) Ratio of Oranges to Apple trees is 10:13
(c) Ratio of Pear to total trees is 7:30
This is the answer for your question
