Answer:

4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Farmer has only 7 acre, he has plant at least 7 acres.

          Farmer has only $1200 to spend.

          Each acre of wheat will cost $200 and rye will cost $100.

          Planting time is only 12 hours

          Wheat planting take 1 hour per hour and rye take 2 hours per acre.

          Profit on wheat is $500 per acre and rye $300 per acre.

As to find out maximum profit, we need to plant maximum wheat.

While dividing number of acres of land for wheat and rye for plantation, we need to keep two constraint in the mind; Constraint of cost and time as given.

Lets assume few number considering these constraint to get maximum profit.

First assumption, 5 acres of wheat and 2 acres of rye

Time taken= 5\times 1= 5 h\\2\times 2= 2 h

Total time taken 7 hours

Amount spent= 5\times 200= \$ 1000\\2\times 100= \$ 200

Total cost is $ 1200.

Profit= 5\times 500= \$ 2500\\2\times 300= \$ 600

Maximum profit= $3100.

Second assumption, 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Times taken= 4\times 1= 4 h\\4\times 2= 8 h

Total time taken is 12 hours

Amount spent= 4\times 200= \$ 800\\4\times 100= \$ 400

Total cost is $1200.

Profit= 4\times 500= \$ 2000\\4\times 300= \$ 1200

Maximum profit= $3200.

∴ By using hit and trail method, we can see that we are getting maximum profit when farmer is planting 4 acres of wheat and 4 acres of rye.

Which stem-and-leaf plot represents this data? 80, 81, 91, 92, 66, 55, 54, 30, 55, 79, 78 A stem-and-leaf plot with a stem value
Rama09 [41]

You are solving for a stem-and-leaf plot that represents the given data: 80, 81, 91, 92, 66, 55, 54, 30, 55, 79, 78.

Note that a stem-and-leaf plot is used in this way:

For example: 8|7

In this case, the stem is the tens place value, and is signified by 8. 7, on the other hand, is the ones place value. <em>Multiple leafs can share the same stem</em>. For example, a stem-and-leaf plot of 85, 86, 87, would give you 8|5 , 6 , 7.

Now, set the given data set in order:

30 , 54 , 55 ,  55 , 66 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 91 , 92

Now, create the stem-and-leaf plot:

Stem | Leaf

\left[\begin{array}{c|ccc}3&0\\5&4&5&5\\6&6\\7&8&9\\8&0&1\\9&1&2\end{array}\right]

~

Your answer will be:

A stem value of 3, with a leaf value of 0. A stem value of 5, with a leaf value of 4 & 5. A stem value of 6, and a leaf value of 6. A stem value of 7, and a leaf value of 8 & 9. A stem value of 8, and a leaf value of 0 & 1. A stem value of 9, and a leaf value of 1 & 2.
