A certain kind of wild mushroom has either spots or gills, but never both. Gilled mushrooms are rare, with only one growing for every nine spotted mushrooms that grow. A fallen log had 30 mushrooms growing on its side. How many gilled mushrooms were on the fallen log’s side?

How many gilled mushrooms are there? ** There is 1 gilled mushroom for every 1 + 9 = <<1+9=10>>10 mushrooms.
How many gilled mushrooms were on the fallen log’s side? ** Thus, there were 30 / 10 = <<30/10=3>>3 gilled mushrooms on the fallen log’s side.
