Question

Solve the following.

In an orchard, there are 128 mango trees in 8 rows. If all the rows have an equal number of trees, how many trees would there be in 13 rows?

Answer 1

Number of mango trees in 8 rows = 128

∴ Number of mango trees in 1 row = `128/8 = 16`

⇒ Number of mango trees in 13 rows = 16 × 13 = 208

Thus, there are 208 mango trees in 13 rows in an orchard.
