Question

The hectare is a metric unit of area defined as 10,000 square meters (100 m by 100 m), and primarily used in the measurement of land. A farmer determines that 3/10 hectare of land will produce 1/2 ton of corn. Drag the tiles to their correct positions to show how the farmer would express this in tons per hectare.

Explanation:

You want to identify the correct expression used to find the yield in tons per hectare.

Rate

The yield in tons per hectare is found by dividing the number of tons (1/2) by the number of hectares (3/10). The result will be ...

`\frac{\left((1)/(2)\text{ ton}\right)}{\left((3)/(10)\text{ hectare}\right)}=\frac{(5)/(10)\text{ ton}}{(3)/(10)\text{ hectare}}=(5)/(3)\text{ ton/hectare}=1(2)/(3)\text{ t/ha}`

Additional comment

A metric tonne (t) is also a megagram (Mg).
