Answer 2

Answer:

459 bushels

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the number of bushels of wheat to be harvested from 12 3/4 acres if each acre yields 36 bushels.

To find the total number of bushels harvested from $12\frac{3}{4}$, we will multiply $12\frac{3}{4}$ by 36.

$12\frac{3}{4}\times 36$

Let us convert $12\frac{3}{4}$ into improper fraction.

$12\frac{3}{4}=\frac{12*4+3}{4}=\frac{48+3}{4}=\frac{51}{4}$

$\frac{51}{4}\times 36$

$51\times 9$

$459$

Therefore, 459 bushels of wheat will be harvested from 12 3/4 acres.
