Answer 3

You're going to need to find out how many trees there are all together and then create a fraction. So what's 7+2? After you figure that out, you will but the number of oak trees as the numerator and the overall amount of trees as the denominator.
\[\frac{ Number~of~oak~trees }{ Number~of~all~trees }\]

Answer 4

total trees = 7+2 = 9
Oak trees = 7
fraction = oak trees/ total trees = 7/ 9
