The number bushels they get from 15 acres of land is 2550

Solution:

Given that, farmer gets 340 bushels of corn from 2 acres of land

To find: Number bushels they get from 15 acres

Let us first find the unit rate, that is we have to find number of bushels from 1 acre of land

From given question,

2 acres of land = 340 bushels of corn

Therefore, for 1 acres of land,


\text{ number of bushels from 1 acre of land } = (340)/(2) = 170

How many bushels can they get from 15 acres?

So, multiply the number of bushels from 1 acre of land by 15 to get answer


\text{number of bushels from 15 acre} = \text{ number of bushels from 1 acre } * 15


\text{number of bushels from 15 acre} = 170 * 15 = 2550

Thus number bushels they get from 15 acres of land is 2550
