Question

Mehak, Harpreet and Raj planted trees in their school and its neighbourhood during the Vanamahotsav Celebration. They were really very happy and excited to be a part of the celebrations. Mehak planted 18 trees, Harpreet planted 24 trees and Raj planted 32 trees.

Question. How many more trees should Raj plant so that the ratio of trees planted by Mehak to that of Raj become 1:2?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Raj should plant 4 trees more.

Step-by-step explanation:

no. of trees planted by Mehak =18

no of trees planted by Raj =32

no. of trees planted more =x

the ratio should be 1:2

18 : x : : 1 : 2 -32

x= 18*2 -32

x=36-32

x=4.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

Raj should plant 4 more trees.

Step-by-step-explanation:

Let no. of more trees planted by Raj be x

So total no. of trees planted by Raj = 32 + x

Ratio of trees planted by Mehak to that of Raj = 1:2

18 : (32 + x) = 1:2

1 8 = 1

32+x 2

18 X 2 = 1(32 + x)

18 X 2 = 32 + x

36 = 32 + x

36 - 32 = x

4 = x

Hence Raj should plant 4 more trees.
