Using proportions, it is found that the ratio of the mass of the tree in Oakland compared to Mapleville is of:

(B) 50.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Hence, to find how many times a measure a is greater than a measure b, we divide a by b.

In this problem:

  • In Oakland, the mass in kg is of [tex]3 \times 10^6[/tex].
  • In Mapleville, it is of [tex]6 \times 10^4[/tex].

Hence, the ratio is given by:

[tex]r = \frac{3 \times 10^6}{6 \times 10^4} = 0.5 \times 10^2 = 50[/tex]

Hence option B is correct.
