Accepted Solution

A:
ANSWER: To find out how many spruce trees are not blue, you can use the information given. In each row, there are 36 spruce trees, and 14 of them are blue spruce. Therefore, the number of spruce trees that are not blue in each row is: Number of spruce trees not blue = Total spruce trees in the row - Number of blue spruce trees Number of spruce trees not blue = 36 - 14 = 22 Now, you have the number of spruce trees that are not blue in one row. Since there are 9 rows in total, you can find the total number of spruce trees that are not blue by multiplying this number by the number of rows: Total number of spruce trees not blue = Number of spruce trees not blue per row * Number of rows Total number of spruce trees not blue = 22 * 9 = 198 So, there are 198 spruce trees that are not blue on the tree farm.
