Question

Tangerine trees yield 50 pounds of fruit per acre and grapefruit trees yield 75 pounds of fruit per acre. Suppose Josh's farm has t acres of tangerine trees, g acres of grapefruit trees, and yields 1,500 pounds of citrus. What is the constraint equation that represents this scenario?

50t + 75g = 1,500 75t + 50g = 1,500 125c = 1,500 t + g = 1,500

Answer 1

Answer: 50t+75g=1,500

Answer 2

Correction: 1,500 pounds of fruits and not 1,500 of citrus fruits.

Solution:
Tangerine trees = 50 pounds/acre, t acres
Grapefruit trees = 75 pounds/acre, g acres

Total weight of fruits possible = 1,500 = 50*t + 75*g

That is,
50t + 75g = 1,500

Therefore, the first option is correct.
