Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of trees = 300
Given that for every two pine trees there will be 3 maple trees.
Let 2t be the total number of pine trees.
Then total number of maple trees is 3t.
Total number of trees = 2 t + 3 t = 5 t
That is
5t = 300
t = 60
Total number of pine trees = 2t = 2 x 60 = 120
Total number of maple trees = 3t = 3 x 60 = 180
There are 120 pine trees and 180 maple trees.
