Introduction - My Family Tree If 25% of the eastern forest trees were American chestnut trees, this means that: wrong. B - 3/4 of eastern forest trees were not American chestnut trees Here's another look at this problem one step at a time.
1.	2.	3.
A percentage refers to the number (in this case 25) out of each group of 100.	Divide the circle representing one whole forest into 4 equal parts. Move your cursor over the graphic. Each part is 25%.	Mover your cursor over the graphic to see that 1/4 is the same as 25% and 3/4 is the same as 75%.

Please try again. You're so close! If 25% of the eastern forest trees were American chestnut trees, this means that: A - Trees in eastern U.S. forests cost 25 cents C - One in every group of four trees was an American chestnut tree D - 25 trees out of each group of 100 trees was an American chestnut tree E - Both C and D.
