Question

supposing on a hypothetical garden 43 identical trees contains a total of 19565 leaves. if each branch on a given tree consist of 35 leaves how many branches does each tree have?​

Answer 1

13 branches/tree

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

• Total number of trees (t): 43 trees

• Total number of leaves (l): 19565 leaves

• Number of leaves per branch (l/b): 35 leaves/branch

Step 2: Calculate the total number of branches (b)

We will use the following expression.

b = l × b/l

b = 19565 leaves × 1 branch/35 leaves = 559 branch

Step 3: Calculate the number of branches per tree (b/t)

We will divide the total number of branches by the total number of trees.

559 branches/43 trees = 13 branches/tree
