Question

height of apple trees
raul measured the heights of the apple trees in an orchard.
what percent of the trees are 10-14 feet tall?
47.2%
17%
55%
25%

Explanation:

Step1: Count total number of trees

First, assign values to each bar from the histogram:
0-4 ft: 5 trees, 5-9 ft: 10 trees, 10-14 ft: 25 trees, 15-19 ft: 10 trees, 20-24 ft: 2 trees
Total = $5 + 10 + 25 + 10 + 2 = 52$

Step2: Calculate percentage for 10-14 ft

Use percentage formula: $\text{Percentage} = \frac{\text{Number of 10-14 ft trees}}{\text{Total trees}} \times 100\%$
$\text{Percentage} = \frac{25}{52} \times 100\% \approx 47.2\%$

Answer:

A. 47.2%
