To figure this one out, you need to divide. 75/12 is 6.25. So the fields would be plowed in approximately 7 days or one week.

Solution: The field will be harvested in approximately in 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of days be x in which the fields will completely harvested.

The farmer can harvest the wheat from 12 acres per day.

In x days he farmer can harvest 12x acres.

It is given that the farmer has 75 acres of wheat.


12x=75


x=(75)/(12)


x=6.25

In 6th day the field will not harvested completely.

Therefore, the field will be harvested in approximately in 7 days.
