Respuesta :

one person: 4 trees

5 people: 20 trees

x = number of people working

y= number of trees planted

So, each people plants 4 trees:

1 person =4 trees:

5 people 20 trees = 20/5 = 4 trees per person

Greta is correct, because:

4 = 4 x1 ( one person 4 trees)

and 20 = 4 x 5 ( 5 people 20 trees)
