Hi there!

I believe your answer is:

50 fields.

Here’s why:

• The farmer has 200 rows total on his field. He plowed a fourth of the field.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

`\boxed{\text{Number of Fields Plowed:}}\\\\\rightarrow200*((1)/(4))\\\\\rightarrow\boxed{50}`

⸻⸻⸻⸻

The farmer should of plowed 50 fields.

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer 2

He plowed 50 rows.

Explanation:

Use proportions

1/4 = x/200

then cross multiply to find x.

4x=200

Divide both sides by 4

x= 50

He plowed 50 rows.
