Answer:

The elm tree is 40 5/6 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Tallness of the apple tree = x

Tallness of the elm tree= 3 1/2x

Apple tree = 10 2/3 feet tall

Elm tree = 3 1/2x

Where x= 10 2/3

Elm = 3 1/2 (10 2/3)

= 7/2(35/3)

= 7*35 / 2*3

= 245 / 6

= 40 5/6 inches tall

The elm tree is 40 5/6 inches tall
