Answer 1

Answer:

Total trees = 150

Apple trees = 65

Pear Trees = 35

Orange trees = 150 - (65+35)

= 50

a) Ratio of Apple to Pear trees =

$\frac{65}{35} = \frac{13}{7}$

= 13:7

b) Ratio of orange trees to Apple =

$\frac{50}{65} = \frac{10}{13}$

= 10:13

c) Ratio of Pear trees to total trees =

$\frac{35}{150} = \frac{7}{30}$

= 7:30
