    So at the end of the year maple:oak=3:11 and there were 132 oak so 132=11 units 132/11=12 so there were 3 times 12 maple trees at the end or 36 so 36:132

    assuming the units stay the same (1 unit=12) in the biginning of the year there were 108 maple trees

    108-36 = 72

    there were 72 more
