Answer:

WEDNESDAY: 45 planted.

THURSDAY: 22 Harvested.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given in the problem, Maeve plants 5 trees for every 2 tree she harvests. Then the ratio can be expressed as following:

[tex]5:2[/tex] or [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Then, you can complete the values in the table as you can see below:

WEDNESDAY

[tex]\frac{5}{2}=\frac{planted}{18}\\\\planted=\frac{18*5}{2}\\\\planted=45[/tex]

THURDAY

[tex]\frac{5}{2}=\frac{55}{harvested}\\\\(harvested)(\frac{5}{2})=55\\\\harvested=\frac{55*2}{5}\\\\harvested=22[/tex]

Answer:

Wed --------45---------

Thu ---------22-----------
