The number of new Fiji apple trees needed to maintain the same ratio is 40 trees.

Ratio

Ratio is the quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other.

The ratio of Fiji apple to Gala apple = 160 : 120 = 4 : 3

If 30 new gala trees are planted, hence the number of gala trees increases to 150 (120 + 30). To maintain the same ratio:

Number of fiji apple = (4/3) * 150 = 200

New Fiji apple trees = 200 - 160 = 40

The number of new Fiji apple trees needed to maintain the same ratio is 40 trees.
