Question

9. In an orchard, there are 3/9 portions of apple trees, 2/9 portions of mango
trees and 1/9 portion of banana tree and remaining are filled with guava
trees. If there are 36 trees in total, how many guava trees are there in the
orchard?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

12 guava trees

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction of the guava trees, we can subtract the other fruit trees from one.

9/9 - 3/9 - 2/9 - 1/9

= 3/9

Simplify

3/9

= 1/3

To find the exact number of guava trees multiply 36 by 1/3.

36*1/3

= 12 guava trees

Hope this helps. :)
