@TheSmartOne help? i'm not sure about this one
Interesting question! (I might have become dizzy by looking at that pattern lol) Well first I would sat is to count how many old trees there are in one row. And then count how many dead trees there are in another random row. And take the average of that. You can count it for another row to get a more accurate answer :P And we can get the average of how many old trees there are per row. And then we just multiply by 50 (I counted *sigh* and there were 50 rows lol xD) And this is assuming that you count how many trees there are from left to right, And you do the same process for the young trees to answer your question :)
And tbh @calculusxy There is no correct answer :) They just want to se how you reason and arrive to an answer.
Oh and look at what I found! http://map.mathshell.org/materials/download.php?fileid=1239 Interesting :) ^^^ It is the same problem. But different name, etc. xD
Oh but wait!
There is an answer but its in a range..
http://www.map.mathshell.org/materials/download.php?fileid=1149 The scoring guidline for this assignment... It says that the range should be 500-700
^smart lol
And here are how others students solved it. http://www.map.mathshell.org/materials/download.php?fileid=1150 Might help you :)
Tbh after I replied with my first post, I decided to google the question but I didn't find it :P Then I dedcided to google 'counting trees' and I found it lol They just changed the name from Tom to Lisa... lol
