Answer:

The number of elms tree in the forest is;

[tex]50[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that the ratio of elm trees to oak trees is 5:7.

And there are 120 trees in total in the forest.

For the ratio of the elms tree to the total number of trees is;

[tex]=\frac{5}{5+7}=\frac{5}{12}[/tex]

Let's now calculate the number elms tree in the forest;

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=\frac{5}{12}\times120\text{ tr}ees \\ n=50\text{ tre}es \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the number of elms tree in the forest is;

[tex]50[/tex]
