Question

A farmer plants the same amount every day, adding up to 3 1/3 acres at the end of the year. If the year is 3/5 over, how many acres has the farmer planted?

Answer 1

If the year is 3/5 over, then the farmer has planted 3/5 of the total amount of acreage.

Let x be the total amount of acreage the farmer plants in a year.

We know that:

x = (3 1/3) acres

We also know that:

(3/5) * x = amount of acreage planted so far

Substituting x:

(3/5) * (3 1/3) = (3/5) * (10/3) = 6/5 acres

Therefore, the farmer has planted 6/5 acres so far.
