Answer: differrence = 14
Explanation:
Let the number of gum trees be 'G'
Given that the wattle trees = 42
Ratio = G/42 = 4/3
Therefore,
3G = 4 x 42 = 168
G = 168/3=56
This means the number of gum trees = 56
Therefore,
difference between the number of gum trees and wattle trees = 56 - 42 = 14
differrence = 14
