Peaches


Which orchard has more bees per acre?


Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

So if Caleb placed 8 beehives for every 3 acres then every 3 acres he puts down 8 beehives. The ratio is 8:3 so the greatest amount would be when he puts down the 8 beehives because it doubles.

Answer 2

The apple orchard has more bees per acre. The ratio of beehives in the peach orchard to beehives in the apple orchard is 15:16.
