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.
