Question

each mile of railway track required between 1760 and 2000
sleepers if one average -sized tree yields 3 to 5 sleepers for a 3m
wide broad gauge track calculate approximately how many trees would
have to be cut to lay one mile of track

Pronay · Accepted Answer

1 mile = 1609m aprox

For covinence in calc lets take it as 1608m

Its also given, 
one average
-sized tree yields 3 to 5 sleepers for a 3m wide broad gauge
track

Therefore no of trees would have to be cut to lay one mile of track
is given by,

1608/3 = 506trees (approx)

each mile of railway track required between 1760 and 2000 sleepers. if one average -sized tree yields 3 to 5 sleepers for a 3m wide broad gauge track calculate approximately how many trees would have to be cut to lay one mile of track
