The length of the actual tree will be 72 inches.
Fraction is the portion of a total amount where the above part of the fraction is the denominator and the bottom part of the fraction is called the numerator.
The equation whose highest degree of the variable is 1 is called a linear equation.
Here given that the length of a painting of the tree is 2/9 of the actual length of the tree.
So mathematically the length of a painting= (2/9)*the length of actual tree
Let the length of the actual tree is x
then from above it is clear that the length of a painting of the tree= (2/9)x
Given the length of the painting is 16 inches.
So the linear equation will be (2/9)x= 16
⇒ x= 16/(2/9)
⇒x= 16*9/2
⇒x=72 inches
Therefore the length of the actual tree will be 72 inches.
