Question

planted 26 000 trees in Vi Xuyen, Ha Giang in 5 weeks, with the help of 8 groups of volunteers. If all groups of volunteers worked on their own at the same speed, how many trees, on average, did each group plant each week?

Answer 1

To find the average number of trees planted by each group per week, divide the total number of trees (26,000) by the number of groups (8), and then divide that result by the number of weeks (5), which equals 650 trees per group per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks us to calculate the average number of trees planted by each volunteer group per week. To find this, we can divide the total number of trees planted by the number of groups and then divide the result by the number of weeks.

Total number of trees planted: 26,000
Number of groups: 8
Number of weeks: 5

First, calculate the number of trees planted by each group:

Trees per group = Total number of trees ÷ Number of groups
Trees per group = 26,000 ÷ 8
Trees per group = 3,250

Next, calculate the number of trees planted by each group per week:

Trees per group per week = Trees per group ÷ Number of weeks
Trees per group per week = 3,250 ÷ 5
Trees per group per week = 650

So, on average, each group planted 650 trees each week.
