Answer:
cherry= 4ft
maple = 2ft
Step-by-step explanation:
5.80c + 4.20m = 31.60
when we set this equation to the side of page we see
31.60 / 6 = 5.2
if he used 6ft then we can see that 5.2 is the equation
5.8cn + 4.2mn = 5.2
4(5.8c) + 2(4.2m) = 31.60
proves the 5.2 was a higher distribution than the 4.2
= 4 cherry and 2 maple
