Answer 1

150 total acres...
he planted half the farm with squash.....150/2 = 75 acres squash

150 - (75 + 33) = 150 - 108 = 42 acres cabbage <==

Answer 2

42 acres

Explanation:

Mitch planted cabbage,squash and carrots on his 150 acre-farm.

He planted half the farm with squash. The acres planted with squash are:

1/2 × 150 acre = 75 acre

He planted 22% with carrots. The acres planted with carrots are:

22% × 150 acre = 33 acre

The sum of the acres planted with cabbage, squash and carrots is equal to the total number of acres.

cabbage + squash + carrots = 150 acre

cabbage = 150 acre - squash - carrots

cabbage = 150 acre - 75 acre - 33 acre = 42 acre
