Question

Conner plans to plow a field in one day. Before lunch he plows 15 acres, which is 30% of the field. Howmany acres will he have to plow after lunch in order to finish the field?

Answer 1

Let the total field to plow be 100 %

According to the question,

The field plowed before lunch is shown below:

15 acres field = 30%

30 % field = 15 acres

1 % field = 15/30 acres

The field plow after lunch is 70%.

`\begin{gathered} 70\text{ \% of field = }(15)/(30)*70 \\ =35\text{ acres} \end{gathered}`

Final Answer:

Therefore, the field to plow after lunch in order to finish the field is 35 acres.
