Question

In a Orchard 1/5 are orange trees 3/13 are mango trees and the rest are banana trees.If the banana trees are 148 in number find the total number of trees in the Orchard​

Answer 1

Total trees are 260.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total no. Of trees be x

banana trees = 148

Now,

x - x/5 - 3x/13 = 148

Now take the LCM

The LCM is 65

Now,

65x/65 - 13x/65 - 15x/65 = 148

37x/65 = 148

x = 148 × 65/ 37

x = 260

Therefore , total no. Of trees are 260.
