let's firstly convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then proceed.

Answer:
Initial number of trees were 204.
Step-by-step explanation:
555 must be a typo error. The question will not produce correct answer. I worked out with 55 but the answer is wrong. So, the number is 5.
Lets say MacDonald removed 5 orange trees from his farm.
Let t be the initial number of trees
After removing 5 trees, the remaining left are t-5 trees
As given - Each of the remaining trees produced 210 oranges for a total harvest of 41790 oranges. This means

Solving for t:



t = 204
So, initial number of trees were 204.
We can check this :

Working with 55 we get the wrong answer:



t = 144
We can check this :

<h3>The constant of variation is

</h3><h3>The equation is

</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
The conversion of square feet to square yards can be represented by direct variation
Let y represent the number of square yards
Let x be the number of square feet

y = kx ------ eqn 1
Where, "k" is the constant of variation
Three square yards are equivalent to 27 square feet
Substitute, y = 3 and x = 27 in eqn 1

Thus the constant of variation is 
<em><u>What is the equation representing the direct variation?</u></em>
Substitute k = 1/9 in eqn 1

Thus the equation is found
