Question

There are 25 trees on the Jackson’s property. Twenty percent of the trees are oak trees. Which equation can be used to find the number of oak trees on the property?

Answer 1

Good evening !

5 would be your answer-


What you would have to do is find 20% of 25.

To do this, you would do 25 multiplied by .2, so 25• .2= ?
( you would use .2 because .2 is 20% of 1)

Just multiply this, and you will get 5.

Hope that helps!
