Step-by-Step Solution to Exercise 3 on Page 74 of Math 5 Textbook
Problem Statement:
A garden has 1000 trees, out of which 540 are timber trees and the rest are fruit trees.
a) What percentage of the total number of trees in the garden are timber trees?
b) What is the percentage ratio between the number of fruit trees and the total number of trees in the garden?
Solution Method:
a) Finding the percentage ratio of timber trees to the total number of trees in the garden: We divide the number of timber trees by the total number of trees in the garden, then multiply by 100 and add the % symbol to the result.
b)
- Step 1: Find the number of fruit trees by subtracting the number of timber trees from the total number of trees in the garden
- Step 2: Find the percentage ratio between fruit trees and the total number of trees in the garden as follows: Divide the number of timber trees (found above) by the total number of trees in the garden, then multiply by 100, and add the % symbol to the result.
