There are nine oak trees in a park. The oak trees make up 45% of all the trees in the park. How many trees are in the park?
This is how I wold solve this:
9 * .45 = ?
Use a calculator or something to figure it out.
Hope I helped. :)
So there are 4.05 trees in the park?
Well, there is 4 trees in the park.
Ok thank u
You're welcome, Amy
These answers make absolutely no sense!! If there are 9 oak trees, how can there only be 4 trees total???
Let x = the total number of trees.
0.45x = 9
x = 9 / 0.45
x = 20
So glad u are on here thanks for checking this
You're welcome. It's always a good idea to check back on previously answered questions. :-)
It's also a good idea to make sure that any answer anyone posts makes sense. If you don't understand -- ask again.
Ok I will
To find the total number of trees in the park, we can use the given information that the oak trees make up 45% of all the trees.
Let's assume the total number of trees in the park is "x".
According to the problem, the number of oak trees is 9, which is 45% of the total number of trees. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
9 = 0.45x
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.45:
9 ÷ 0.45 = x
Simplifying the left side of the equation gives us:
20 = x
Therefore, there are 20 trees in the park.
