Answer:   c. elm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The circumference of the oak tree= 0.539 meters

=0.539\times100=53.9\text{ cm}   [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]             (1)

The circumference of the ash tree= 0.509 yards

=0.509\times3\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 yard = 3 feet]

=0.509\times3\times 30.48\text{ cm}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=46.54296\approx46.54\text{ cm}        (2)

The circumference of the elm tree = 6281.70 millimeters

=\dfrac{6281.70}{10}=628.17\text{ cm}          (3)

The circumference of the poplar tree = 0.000385 miles

=0.000385 \times5280\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet]

=0.000385 \times5280\times30.48\text{ feet}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=61.959744\approx61.96\ \text{ cm}              (4)

From (1) , (2) , (3 ) and (4) it is clear that

46.54< 53.9 < 61.96 < 628.17

Hence, the elm tree has the greatest circumference.

What is the solution to the system below? <br> 3x + y = 11<br> y = x + 3
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = 2

y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + y = 11 equation (1)

-x + y = 3 multiply this equation by -1

x - y = -3 equation (2)

by adding 2 equations

4x = 8

x = 2

by sub. in Equation (2)

2 - y = -3

y = 2+3

y = 5
