2pcMy neighbor was watching me rake leaves ("thanks for the help buddy)and told me an average maple tree has 3 x 10^6 leaves. I then did someresearch and found out the tree has 2x10^4 branches. If these numbersare true - how many leaves are there per branch? *

Respuesta :

If a typical Maple tree has approximately [3 x (10^6)] leaves and [2 x (10^4)] branches on an average, then the number of leaves per branch will be 150.

As per the question statement, a typical Maple tree has approximately [3 x (10^6)] leaves and [2 x (10^4)] branches on an average,

And we are required to calculate the number of leaves per branch.

To solve this question, we simply have to divide the total number leaves  on a typical maple tree, by the total number of branches in it, on average, to obtain our desired answer, that is,

a typical Maple tree has approximately [3 x (10^6)] leaves on [2 x (10^4)] branches on an average, then, the number of leaves per branch will be     [{3 x (10^6)}/{2 x (10^4)}]

= [(3/2) * {(10^6)}/(10^4)}]

= [(3/2) * (10^2)]

= [(3/2) * 100]

= (3 * 50)

= 150 leaves.

  • Average: In Mathematics, the average of a set of values is the mean value that represents the whole set singularly, and is calculated by the ratio of the sum of the values of all elements of a set, to the number of elements in that set.
