Question

A total of 300 trees will be planted in a park. There will be 2 pine trees planted for every 3 maple trees planted. Plot the points that represent the number of pine and maple trees planted. Select the places on the coordinate plane to plot the points.

Answer 1

Here are the steps: pt= pine treed mt= maple trees t=trees

2 pt + 3 mt = 5 t
So 300 trees divided by 5 trees gives you 60
300 trees / 5 trees = 300 / 5 = 60
To find the amount of pine trees multiply 60 by 2 which is 120
To find the amount of maple trees multiply 3 by 60 to get 180
So the answer to your question is 120 pt and 180 mt
