Question

Darcy's harvests 8 3/4 acres of corn every 5/6 hours. How much corn can she collect in a hour. ? =Amount of acres of corn done in a hour.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Acres of corn harvested : time taken = 8 3/4 : 5/6

How much corn can she collect in a hour. ?

Let

x = Acres of corn harvested

Acres of corn harvested : time taken = x : 1

8 3/4 : 5/6 = x : 1

35/4 : 5/6 = x : 1

35/4 ÷ 5/6 = x/1

35/4 × 6/5 = x/1

35*6/4*5 = x/1

210/20 = x/1

210 * 1 = 20 * x

210 = 20x

x = 210/20

= 10 1/2 acres

x = Acres of corn harvested = 10 1/2 acres
