trees they planted was 2:9. How many oak trees did Aaron
and his mother plant on Wednesday?
A)5
B)13
C) 6
D) 21

Step-by-step explanation:

let us use the part to whole approach

given the ratio= 2:9

the total ratio= 2+9=11

the total trees planted=27

using the part to whole, the oak trees planted is given as

let the number of oak trees be x

2/11=x/27

cross multiply we have

11x=27x2

11x=54

x=54/11

x= 4.90

approximately 5 tree

answer: 0+0=0

step-by-step explanation:

that is the only answer that can make 0

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
