Answer:
4 1/2 tons of recycled paper
Step-by-step explanation:
13.5/3 = 4.5 or 4 1/2
Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span>

<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span>

.
From the above equation we get

.
then

Solving the above equation for y we get:

So
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
Let us assume the first integer to be = x
Then
The second integer will be = x + 1
The sum of the two consecutive integers =185
Then
x + x + 1 = 185
2x + 1 = 185
2x = 184
x = 92
From the above deduction, we can easily conclude that the smallest of the two integers is 92. I hope that the answer has helped you.
