Answer:

It's 3/10

Step-by-step explanation:

the total of all trees is 100%, 70% of all trees are apples. 100-70=30. Since you have to write a fraction. 70%=70/100 or 7/10. 30%=30/100 or 3/10.

3/10 are plum trees. Percentages can easily be turned into fractions the 70% would be 70/100 or 7/10. And they is a total of 30% left, so 30/100 or 3/10
