Question

a large farm has 75 acres of wheat and 62.5 acres of corn. the farm crew can harvest the wheat from 12 acres and the corn from 10 acres per day. in how many days will all of the fields be harvested

Answer 1

Answer:

7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's start with the wheat. If you know that there is 75 acres of wheat, and you can harvest 12 acres in one day, all you have to do is 75 divided by 12.

This would get you at 6.25, but a whole day would be 7.

Corn, you know that there is 62.5 acres. Same thing, you do 62.5/10, and will get you around 7 again.
