Understanding Harvest and Tree Calculations

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving the number of trees needed for an orange harvest. It begins by outlining the problem, which involves cutting down five trees to control insects and calculating the total harvest of 41,790 oranges. The tutorial then guides viewers through labeling variables, setting up an equation, and solving it to find the initial number of trees, which is 205.

What was the initial action taken to control the insect problem?

• Harvesting early

• Cutting down five trees

• Using pesticides

• Planting more trees

How many oranges were produced by the remaining trees?

• 10,000

• 41,790

• 5,000

• 210

What is the relationship between trees and harvest in the problem?

• Both trees and harvest are inputs

• Trees are the input, and harvest is the output

• Both trees and harvest are outputs

• Trees are the output, and harvest is the input

What is the first step in solving the problem according to the teacher?

• Check the answer

• Solve the equation

• Label your variables

• Create an equation

What equation represents the relationship between trees and harvest?

• h = t - 210

• h = 210t + 5

• h = 210(t - 5)

• h = t + 5

How many oranges were produced per harvest?

• 205

• 199

• 210

• 41,790

What is the final step in solving for the number of trees?

• Subtract 5

• Divide by 210

• Add 5

• Multiply by 210

What was the total number of trees initially?

• 205

• 41,790

• 210

• 199

What operation is performed after dividing by 210 in the equation?

• Multiply by 5

• Divide by 5

• Subtract 5

• Add 5

What does the variable 't' represent in the equation?

• Total oranges

• Number of harvests

• Oranges per tree

• Number of trees initially
