Question

Darcy harvest 8 3/4 acres of corn every 5/6 of an hour. How many acres per hour?

Answer 1

The answer is
`10(1)/(2)\ per\ hour.`

Explanation:

Given:

Darcy harvest 8 3/4 acres of corn every 5/6 of an hour.

Now, to find the acres per hour it takes to harvest.

Darcy harvest =
`8(3)/(4)=(35)/(4)\ acres.`

The time he took to harvest =
`(5)/(6)\ hour.`

So, to get the acres per hour we put formula:

`Distance = (35)/(4)\ acres.`

`Time=(5)/(6)\ hour.`

`Speed=(distance)/(time)`

`Speed=((35)/(4))/((5)/(6))`

`Speed=(35)/(4)* (6)/(5)`

`Speed=(210)/(20)`

`Speed=(21)/(2)`

`Speed=10(1)/(2)\ per\ hour.`

Therefore, the answer is
`10(1)/(2)\ per\ hour.`
