Sagot :

Answer:

There are 166 mango trees.

Step-by-step explanation:

#1 step, add all the numbers in the ratio: 5 + 2 + 8 = 15

#2 step, Divide the total number of trees by 15, so 1,245 ÷ 15 = 83

#3 step, multiply 83 to each ratio:

83 × 5 = 415

83 × 2 = 166

83 × 8 = 664

Last step: Checking:

Santol trees + mango trees + tamarind trees = 1,245

415 + 166 + 664 = 1,245

Answer:

There are 166 mango trees.
