Question

A farmer has an orchard that covers an area of 40 acres. He grows apples on 25 acres, peaches on 7 acres, nectarines on 5 acres, and plums on 3 acres. The fruit trees are equally distributed within the orchard. A tree is chosen at random. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent, what is the theoretical probability that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees

Answer 1

the answer is 37.5

Explanation:

it is

Answer 2

37.5%

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the theoretical probability that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees

Using this formula

P=(Number of all orchard acres - Apple acres)/(Total orchard acres)*100

Where,

P represent Probability

Let plug in the formula

P=(40 acres- 25 acres)/40 acres

P=15 acres/40 acres *100

P=3/8*100

P=.375*100

P=37.5%

Therefore the THEORETICAL PROBABILITY that the tree is not within the acres of apple trees is 37.5%
