Question

A farmer plans crops on 48 acres of land. The circle graph shows the percentages of land used for some of the different types of crops.

Based on the circle graph, how many acres of land are used for corn?

Answer 1

14.4 acres for corn (if you need to round, it's 14 acres.)

Explanation:

40% = 19.2 acres

20% = 9.6 acres

10% = 4.8 acres

40 + 20 + 10 = 70

100-70 = 30

30% = 14.4 acres

Answer 2

14.4acres

Explanation:

The total acres is 48 acres, which is 100%

when you add percentage of others, wheat and cotton you get 70%.

which leaves you with 30%

therefore, 30% of the land is for corn..

which is 14.4 acres.

0.30 x 48acres= 14.4 acres
