Answer: The date tree is 3 times as tall as the lemon tree
Explanation:
There are two trees.
Date tree = unknown height
Lemon tree = 8 feet
Equation
? = 3 x 8
We can assume that the 8 in the equation is the height of the lemon tree since it was already given. The equation's purpose is to find the height of the date tree resulting in 3 times 8 which is 24.
If we compare their heights, we can say that the date tree is 3 times taller than the lemon tree since 24 is 3 times greater than 8.
