Question

225 bushels for 3 acres X bushels for 9.6 acres. Solve for X.

Answer 1

x=720 bushels

Explanation:

75:1

720:9.6

Answer 2

720 bushels

Explanation:

To find the number of bushels for 9.6 acres, we can use the following proportion:

`\sf (225\, bushels )/( 3 \, acres) = (x\, bushels )/( 9.6 \, acres)`

Cross-multiplying, we get:

225 bushels × 9.6 acres = x bushels × 3 acres

2160 bushels = x bushels × 3 acres

Dividing both sides by 3 acres, we get:

`\sf x\, bushels = (2160 \,bushels )/( 3 \,acres )`

x bushels = 720 bushels

Therefore, the number of bushels for 9.6 acres is 720 bushels.
