Question

What is the total amount of sap trees produced that day? Please tell me ASAP(as soon as possible) because this lesson is due for a grade tomorrow and I’m stuck on this question. Please tell me now because I have to go, Thanks!

Answer 1

5 gallons

Explanation:

Number of x's on 1/4 = 3

So, amount of sap trees produce that day = 3/4

Number of x's on 3/8 = 2

So, amount of sap trees produce that day = 2 × 3/8 = 3/4

Number of x's on 5/8 = 4

So, amount of sap trees produce that day = 4 ×5/8 = 5/2

Number of x's on 1 = 1

So, amount of sap trees produce that day = 1 × 1 =1

Therefore,

total amount of sap the trees produce = amount of sap trees produce based on number of x's on 1/4 + amount of sap trees produce based on number of x's on 3/8 + amount of sap trees based on number of x's on 5/8 + amount of sap trees based on number of x's on 1 =
`(5)/(2)+(3)/(4)+(3)/(4)+1=(10+3+3+4)/(4)=(20)/(4)=5\,\,gallons`

Answer 2

Answer: 5 gallons

Explanation:

There are 3 x's on the graph for 1/4, so 1/4 times 3=3/4

There are 2 x's on the graph for 3/8, so 3/8 times 2=3/4

There are 4 x's on the graph for 5/8, so 5/8 times 4=5/2

There is only 1 x for 1, so it will remain 1.

So if you add these up,

3/4+3/4+5/2+1

6/4+10/4+1

16/4+1

4+1

There is 5 gallons of sap produced that day.

Hope this helped!
