Question

the ratio of oak trees to maple trees in John's neighborhood is 3 to 5. using the same ratio, if the town plants 15 oak trees in the park, how many maple trees should they plan? Use equivalent ratios to solve. be sure to include units in each ratio.

Answer 1

15 to 25

Explanation:

For every 3 oak trees there’s 5 maple. So then you have 3 to 5 so add 3 more oak trees and 5 more maple then it would be 6 to 10 then so on so. From the beginning is 3 to 5, 6 to 10, 9 to 15, 12 to 20, 15 to 25
