Question

A park has 15 maple trees for every five locust trees if there are three locust trees how many maple trees are there

Answer 1

If there are 15 maple trees for every 5 locust trees, that means that there will be 3 maple trees for every locust tree (you get this result by dividing by 5). If there are 3 locust trees, that means that there will be (3 x 3) maple trees, that is, there will be 9 maple trees.

Answer 2

Answer:

9

3 x 3 = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

If a park has 15 Maple trees for every 5 Locust trees, and there are only 3 Locust trees, we have to find the amount of Maple trees? But how?

$\frac{15}{5} =3$  , there are three times the amount of Maple trees to Locust Trees.

So, if we have 3 Locust trees. (l = locust, m = maple). Simply, 3 locust trees multiplied by 3 = How many maple trees.

$3l=m\\3(3)=9$
