Answer 2

459 bushels

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(3)/(4)`, we will multiply
`12(3)/(4)` by 36.

`12(3)/(4)* 36`

Let us convert
`12(3)/(4)` into improper fraction.

`12(3)/(4)=(12*4+3)/(4)=(48+3)/(4)=(51)/(4)`

`(51)/(4)* 36`

`51* 9`

`459`

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