Acreage varies directly with the production in bushels of wheat produced.

In a 20-acre field, 300 bushels of wheat are produced. At this rate, how
many bushels will be produced in a 50-acre field?

Answer:

750 bushels

Step-by-step explanation: 20/300=50/b b=bushels

cross multiply then you get 20b=15000

next you divide 20 by 15000 and you get 750 bushels!

i had the same question just now and figured it out! hope this helped you!
