The ratio of trees to shrubs is 5:2. How many shrubs are there for 30 trees?

30:12

Step-by-step explanation:

The beginning ratio is 5:2, trees to shrubs.

For every five trees, there are two shrubs.

So here is how we are going to solve the problem, since we are trying to figure out the amount of shrubs for 30 trees, we are going to divide 30 by 5 then once we've found out the quotient, we are going to multiply the quotient by two to get our amount of shrubs.

30 ÷ 5 = 6

6(2)=12

To conclude, for 30 trees there are 12 shrubs.

answer: first option i.e. 'a' is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

number of minutes to wrap a small gift box = 4 minutes

we need to find the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes

since there is a direct variation, as the number of minutes will increase with   number of gifts to be wrapped.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
