An elm tree is 3 and one-half times as tall as an apple tree. The apple tree is 10 and two-thirds feet tall. How tall is the elm tree?

The elm tree is 40 5/6 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Tallness of the apple tree = x

Tallness of the elm tree= 3 1/2x

Apple tree = 10 2/3 feet tall

Elm tree = 3 1/2x

Where x= 10 2/3

Elm = 3 1/2 (10 2/3)

= 7/2(35/3)

= 7*35 / 2*3

= 245 / 6

= 40 5/6 inches tall

The elm tree is 40 5/6 inches tall

its kind of blurry. can you put a clearer pic?

step-by-step explanation:

x is the total time in minutes for the free response

you are given number of questions as 15 - m and time per item as 8 minutes

to find x multiply the two givens together:

x = 8 * (15-m) = 8(15-m)
