Question

banana trees yield 32 pounds of fruit per acre and strawberry plants yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre suppose ericas farm has b acres of banana trees s acres of strawberry plants and yields 1200 pounds of fruit what is the equation that represents this scenario

Answer 1

32b + 84s > 1,200

Explanation:

Yield of Banana tree =32b.

Yield of strawberry plant=84s

Total yields = 32b+84s.

The goal is to yield more than 12,000 pounds of fruits. Which is...

32b + 84s > 1,200

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

`32b+84s=1200`

Explanation:

There are banana trees which yield 32 pounds of fruit in one acre

So for b acres of banana trees we get

32b pounds of bananas

There are strawberry plants which yield 84 pounds of fruit per acre.

So for s acres of strawberry plants we get

84s pounds of strawberries.

But the total yield is 1200 pounds

So

`32b+84s=1200`
