Answer 1

Carl and his friends plan to pick apples from 1 more tree next week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of trees they plan to pick apples from next week, we can start by finding the average number of apples picked per tree. To do this, we divide the total number of apples by the number of trees: 824 apples ÷ 4 trees = 206 apples per tree. Since each tree represents a certain amount of apples, we can use this information to determine the number of additional trees Carl and his friends plan to pick apples from next week. Let's say they plan to pick the same number of apples next week, which is 206 apples. If each tree represents 206 apples, then we divide the total number of apples they plan to pick next week by the number of apples per tree: 206 apples ÷ 206 apples per tree = 1 tree. Therefore, Carl and his friends plan to pick apples from 1 more tree next week.
