Answer 1

Given:

There are 19 oak trees in a park.

There will be 56 oak trees in the park the plantation.

To find:

How many oak trees did they plant today?

Solution:

We have,

Initial number of oak trees = 19

Number of trees after plantation = 56

Now, the number of oak trees they plant today is

New trees = Number of trees after plantation - Initial number of oak trees

                 = 56 - 19

                  = 37

Therefore, they did plant 37 oak trees today.
