A total of 300 trees will be planted in a park. There will be 2 pine trees planted for every 3 maple trees planted. Plot the points that represent the number of pine and maple trees planted. Select the places on the coordinate plane to plot the points.

Here are the steps: pt= pine treed mt= maple trees t=trees

2 pt + 3 mt = 5 t
So 300 trees divided by 5 trees gives you 60
300 trees / 5 trees = 300 / 5 = 60
To find the amount of pine trees multiply 60 by 2 which is 120
To find the amount of maple trees multiply 3 by 60 to get 180
So the answer to your question is 120 pt and 180 mt
Hoped I helped! <3
