    Answer:The number of ash trees = 45 trees

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the number of maple trees ash trees and elm trees are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 8

    Let the number of maple trees be 2x

    Let the number of ash trees be 5x

    Let the number of elm trees be 8x

    If there are 54 more elm trees than maple trees, then they can be represented as

    8x - 2x = 54

    6x = 54

    x = 9

    The number of ash trees = 5x = 5 * 9 = 45 trees
