Question

at meadow valley tree farm, the farmers plant 4 maple trees for every 3 pine trees.
complete the table.
maple trees | pine trees
4 | 3
8 | □
12 | □
16 | □
graph the data from the table.
graph with x - axis: maple trees (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20), y - axis: pine trees (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30)

Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of maple to pine trees

The ratio of maple trees to pine trees is \( \frac{4}{3} \), so pine trees \( = \frac{3}{4} \times \) maple trees.

Step2: Calculate for 8 maple trees

For 8 maple trees, pine trees \( = \frac{3}{4} \times 8 = 6 \).

Step3: Calculate for 12 maple trees

For 12 maple trees, pine trees \( = \frac{3}{4} \times 12 = 9 \).

Step4: Calculate for 16 maple trees

For 16 maple trees, pine trees \( = \frac{3}{4} \times 16 = 12 \).

Answer:

The completed table (from top to bottom for the empty pine tree cells) is 6, 9, 12.
