A total of 300 trees will be planted in a park, for every two pine trees there will be 3 maple trees what is the number of pine and maple trees that were planted in the park?

There are 120 pine trees and 180 maple trees.

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.
