Problema Solution
4 oak trees to every 10 pine trees. How many oak trees were there if there are 36 more pine than oak?
Answer provided by our tutors
First, let's write some equations from the given information:
o/p=4/10 (This is the ratio of oaks to pines)
p=o+36
where 'o' stands for the number of oak trees and 'p' stands for the number of pine trees.
Using Algebrator to find 'o' and 'p', we get:
o=24
p=60
Therefore, there are 24 oak trees.
