At the beginning of the season, macdonald had to remove orange trees from his farm. each of the remaining trees produced oranges for a total harvest of oranges. if is the initial number of trees on macdonald's farm, which of the following equations best describes the situationa. (initial number of trees - number of orange trees removed) * total oranges produced =
b. (initial number of trees - number of orange trees removed) + total oranges produced =
c. (initial number of trees - number of orange trees removed) - total oranges produced =
d. (initial number of trees - number of orange trees removed) / total oranges produced =
Final answer:The correct equation to represent the total harvest of oranges after removing some trees from MacDonald's farm is the product of the remaining number of trees and the oranges produced per tree. The correct answer is a.Explanation:The question involves mathematical equations that describe a situation in agricultural economics. The correct equation to represent the scenario where MacDonald removes some orange trees at the beginning of the season would be:(Initial number of trees - Number of orange trees removed) × Oranges produced per tree = Total harvest of oranges.This equation assumes every remaining tree produces the same number of oranges. The other equations provided in the options do not accurately represent the situation described, as the relationship is multiplicative (each tree produces a number of oranges), not additive, subtractive, or divisive.As a noun, harvest means the time of year when crops are ripe and ready to be gathered. The picked crop is also called a harvest: a bumper crop is a plentiful harvest, and a poor harvest is when things didn't grow as well as expected. As a verb, to harvest something is to gather, trap, or cull it....
