Find the amount of sap the maple syrup producer collected from each tree if the total amount (5 gallons) was redistributed equally among the trees.

Answer:1/2 gallonExplanation:There were a total of 5 gallons collected, as the question states.There are 3 x's above 1/4, 2 x's above 3/8, 4 x's above 5/8 and 1 x above 1.  This is a total of 3+2+4+1 = 10 x's.  This means there were 10 trees.If 5 gallons is evenly distributed among 10 trees, this would give us the ratio 5/10, which simplifies to 1/2 gallon per tree.
