Solution

Find the number of limes:
Given that Katie's orange tree has $30$ oranges also Katie's tree has $3$ times as many fruits as Lisa's
Let the number of limes on Lisa's tree is $x$
The mathematically the equation can be given as follows:
$3 x = 30$
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3,
$x = 10$
Hence therefore there were 10 limes on Lisa's tree.
Out of these $10$ she harvested half of them.
Therefore there are only $5$ limes remaining on her tree.
Hence, the number of limes on Lisa's tree is $5 .$
