Finally he pulled one leaf from another twig. How many leaves are there left.

Respuesta :

Answer: 8999 leaves is left on tree

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember there are: 10 trunks

10 branches

10 twigs

10 leaves

On one deca tree

Therefore we have to find for :

Which is :

10 trunks × 10 branches = 100 branches

100 branches × 10 twigs = 1000 twigs

1000 twigs × 10 leaves = 10000 leaves

We find for the leaves.

1 trunk = 10 branches = 10 twigs =

10 leaves

1 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000 leaves

1000 + 1 = 1001 leaves were picked

10000 - 1001 = 8999 leaves are left on the tree
