Answer:

7 trees will be planted along one block.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the block in boskyville = 390 feet

  • The condition is that the first tree on the block must stand 20 feet from the corner.

So subtract 20 feet from the length of the block in boskyville.

i.e  390 feet - 20 feet = 370 feet

  • Given the trees will be planted 50 feet apart.

Thus, divide the 370 feet by 50 feet would bring us the total number of trees being planted along one block

i.e.

Trees along one block = 370 / 50

                                      = 7 (Rounded to the whole number)

Thus, 7 trees will be planted along one block.

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.
