Answer: 12

Explanation:

Since we are informed that a maple tree in the backyard of a home has a height of 0.75 meters.

To know the jow many times tall (t) is a nearby hickory tree that is 9 meters tall, we've to divide the height of the hickory tree by the height of the maple tree. This will be:

= 9meters / 0.75meters

= 12

Therefore, the hickory tree is 12 times tall as the maple tree.
