The number of peach trees in the orchard is directly proportional to
the number of apple trees. When Farmer Bob planted 40 peach
trees, he planted 120 apple trees. Everything was killed in the
drought and he's starting anew. How many apple trees will he
need to plant if he plants 500 peach trees?
there was a difference between the 40 and 120 which was 80 so if there are 500 peach trees he would need to plant 580 because you add the difference to the total. The answer is 580 apple trees
