Shelly compared the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees as a part of a study about hardwood trees in a woodlot. She counted 9 maple trees to every 5 oak trees. Later in year there was a bug problem and many trees died. New trees were planted to make sure there was same number of trees as before the bug problem.

How many more maple trees were in the woodlot before the bug problem than after the bug problem? Explain
