The first tree has 4 branches per foot because 200 / 50 = <<200/50=4>>4
The second tree tree has 4.5 branches per foot because 180 / 40 = <<180/40=4.5>>4.5
The third tree has 3 branches per foot because 180 / 60 = <<180/60=3>>3
The fourth tree has 4.5 branches per foot because 153 / 34 = <<153/34=4.5>>4.5
The total branches per foot is 16 because 4 + 4.5 + 3 + 4.5 = <<4+4.5+3+4.5=16>>16
The average branches per foot is 4 because 16 / 4 = <<16/4=4>>4
