it takes 25 full specific trees to make one tonne of paper. If there are 500 such trees in a forest, then to save 5/8 part of the forest how much paper do we have to save
Answers
Answer:
"i. Number of trees required to make 1 tonne of paper = 17
Total number of trees = 221
Fraction of forest will be used to make one tonne of paper = 17/221 = 1/13
a. Fraction of forest will be used to make 5 tonnes of paper = 1/13 × 5 = 5/13
b. Fraction of forest will be used to make 10 tonnes of paper = 1/13 × 10 = 10/13
ii. Let us assume that we have to save x tonnes of paper to save 7/13 part of the forest
Fraction of forest will be used to make x tonnes of paper = 1/3 × x = x/13
x/13 = 7/13
x = 7/13 × 13 = 7"
