To find the total number of trees, you can simply add the number of oak trees to the number of maple trees.
1. Start with the number of oak trees: 197
2. Add the number of maple trees: 76
To make the addition easier, you can break it down:
- First, add 197 + 76:
- You can round 76 to 80 (to simplify the calculations initially).
- 197 + 80 = 277 (which is an approximation).
- Since you added 4 extra (80 - 76 = 4), you subtract 4: 277 - 4 = 273.
So, the total number of trees is **273**.
