The 2020 presidential election has been a disaster for people who think the Electoral College is still a good idea. Joe Biden’s clear victory has been followed by attempts by the incumbent president to induce Republican legislators and other elected Republican officials in five states he lost to ignore the certified vote counts in their states and substitute their partisan preferences for the voters’ decision. Now Congress will formally receive the electoral votes, after a series of attempts to subvert the democratic process, all made possible by the Electoral College.

Answer:
250 pine trees
Explanation:
If we have a one square mile of forest that is divided into ten equally sized quadrants, that means that each of them accounts for 1/10th of a mile. If in one of the quadrants there are twenty-five pine trees, and if that is the number of pine trees in all of the quadrants, then we can easily come to the result for the whole forest. As each quadrant is 1/10 of the whole area, it means that the number of pine trees in one of them should be multiplied by the number of quadrants:
25 x 10 = 250
We get a result of 250 pine trees for the whole forest area of one square mile.
