Answer 1

Answer:

6.3 trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Meryl needs to cut down 10.5 trees for every 5 cabins she builds.

Let us find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 1 cabin by dividing 10.5 by 5.

\text{Number of tress needed to build 1 cabin}=\frac{10.5}{5}Number of tress needed to build 1 cabin=

5

10.5

\text{Number of tress needed to build 1 cabin}=2.1Number of tress needed to build 1 cabin=2.1

Now let us multiply 2.1 by 3 to find the number of trees Meryl needs to cut down to build 3 cabins.

\text{Number of tress needed to build 3 cabins}=2.1\times 3Number of tress needed to build 3 cabins=2.1×3

\text{Number of tress needed to build 3 cabins}=6.3Number of tress needed to build 3 cabins=6.3

Therefore, Meryl needs to cut down 6.3 trees, if she builds 3 cabins.

Answer 2

Answer:

For the other part of the answer : 14.7

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we divide 10.5 by 5, which gives us 2.1, and then we multiply 2.1 by 7, then we get 14.7
