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.

An orchard has 651 orange trees. The number of rows exceeds the number of trees per row by 10. How many trees are there in a row
natima [27]

Answer:

The number of trees in each row is  21.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the number of trees in each row  = m

So, the number of rows in the orchard = Number of trees in each row + 10

or, total number of trees in each row = (10 +m)

Now, Total number of Trees = Number of Rows x Number of trees in 1 row

⇒ 651  = m (m + 10)

651 = m^2 + 10m\\\implies  m^2 + 10m - 651 =0\\or,   m^2 + 31m  21m - 651 =0\\or, m(m +31) -21(m+31) =0\\\implies (m +31) (m-21) = 0

⇒ (m +31) = 0, or (m-21) = 0

⇒ m= -31, or m = 21

Now, as m = The number of trees in each row, so m ≠ -31

So, m =  21

Hence, the number of trees in each row is m = 21.
