Praxis 5003 Practice Test Practice Question
In a particular region, approximately 2/7 of all the trees are maples. If the county of Giles is located in this region and is estimated to have a total of 450 trees, the number of maple trees in Giles is most likely between which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: To determine the number of maple trees in Giles, calculate 2/7 of the total trees (450). This gives approximately 128.57, indicating that the number of maple trees is likely around 129.
Option A (65 and 85) is too low, as it does not encompass the calculated estimate. Option B (85 and 105) also falls short, failing to reach the approximate value of 129. Option D (150 and 170) is too high, exceeding the estimate.
Thus, option C (120 and 150) is the only range that includes 129, making it the most accurate choice.
