Question

Farmers mowed 60 acres of grass a day instead of 50 and managed to finish the task one day earlier than planned. What is the area of the meadow they were mowing?

Answer 1

 300 acres. because multiply 60 by 5.

Answer 2

The area of the meadow they were mowing was 300.

Given that,

Farmers mowed 60 acres of grass a day instead of 50 and managed to finish the task one day earlier than planned.

We have to determine,

The area of the meadow they were mowing.

According to the question,

Let, The meadow they were mowing be x,

Then,

$\dfrac{x}{50}$ is the time required to complete the job mowing 50 acres per day.

$\dfrac{x}{60}$ is the time required to complete the job mowing 60 acres per day.

Therefore,

The direct translation of the condition equation = 1 on the right is the time difference.

$\dfrac{x}{50} - \dfrac{x}{60} = 1\\\\\dfrac{6x-5x}{300} = 1\\\\\dfrac{1\times x}{300} = 1\\\\\dfrac{x}{300} = 1 \\\\x = 300 \times 1 \\\\x = 300$

Hence, The required area of the meadow they were mowing was 300.
