Question

Farmer Brown grows corn on his 110 acre farm. The yield for his farm is 17,600 bushels of corn. Farmer Diaz grows wheat on his farm. He plants 250 acres of wheat and has a yield of 13,750 bushels. What is the difference in the density per acre of the wheat and the corn?

A.35
B.105
C.140
D.3850

Answer 1

Difference of density per acre of wheat and corn = 105

Explanation:

Given:

Yield in 110 acre farm = 17,600 Bushes of corn

Yield in 250 acre farm = 13,750 Bushes of wheat

Find:

Difference of density per acre of wheat and corn

Computation:

Yield per acres Bushes of corn = 17,600 / 110

Yield per acres Bushes of corn = 160

Yield per acres Bushes of wheat = 13,750 / 250

Yield per acres Bushes of wheat = 55

Difference of density per acre of wheat and corn = Yield per acres Bushes of corn - Yield per acres Bushes of wheat

Difference of density per acre of wheat and corn = 160 - 55

Difference of density per acre of wheat and corn = 105
