Question

Meryl needs to cut down 10.5 trees for every 5 cabins she builds. how many trees would she need to build 7 cabins​

Answer 1

Answer:

14.7 Trees

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this using a proportion.

$\frac{10.5}{5} = \frac{x}{7}$

10.5 x 7 = 73.5

5x = 73.5

x = 14.7

Now let's check the proportion.

$\frac{10.5}{5} = \frac{14.7}{7}$

10.5 x 7 = 73.5

14.7 x 5 = 73.5

73.5 = 73.5 ✅

I'm always happy to help :)
