Answer:

Middle tree =
2(1)/(2) ft

Left tree =
1(3)/(12) ft

Right tree =
4(3)/(8)ft

Explanation:

we are told that:

middle tree = 2 1/2 feet

Left tree = 3/4 times the height of the middle tree

Left tree = 3/4 × 2 1/2 =
(3)/(4) * (5)/(3) = 15/12 = 1(3)/(12) ft

right tree = 1 3/4 times the height of the middle tree

right tree = 7/4 × 5/2 = 35/8 =
4(3)/(8)ft

Answer:

Middle: 2.5 ft

Right: 4,375 ft

Left: 1,875 ft

Explanation:

We know that a tree in the middle is 2.5 feet tall.

Now the tree on the left measures 3/4 of the tree in the middle, therefore:

2.5 * 3/4 = 1.875

Which means that the tree on the left is 1.875 feet tall.

Finally the tree on the right 1 3/4, which would be 1.75 times the tree in the middle, therefore:

2.5 * 1.75 = 4.375

Therefore the tree on the right is 4.375 feet tall.
