Oak trees line both sides of a street for a lenght of 3/8 of a kilometer. If there is 16 meters of space between the trees, and each tree is 1 meter wide, how many trees are there along the street? (1 kilometer = 1000 meters)

36
40
42
44
46

Suppose there are n trees on one side of the road. Now total distance including trees width for one tree to another is 17 so for n trees it is 17n.

3/8th of a kilometer is 3*125=375

so total no.of trees on one sidei.e. n= 375/17=22.05

just take the integer value and double it as we have to count the total no. of trees on both sides of the road. So my take on answer is 44. Please let me know if i am wrong.

The answer is 46.
Because the space between trees is 16 metres,tree width 1 metre.
So total of 17 metres for one tree.
22 trees consume 22*17=374 metres. We can now plant one more tree on one end.
So it countss to 23
So totally on 2 sides we have 46 trees.
