Answer:
37.5 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of his land where vegetables are grown
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5
(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.
= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15 LCD of 3 and 15= 15 so we write:
= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15
= 1 - (5+6)/16
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15.
4 /15 is equivalent to 10 acres
so total area (= 1) = 10 / 4/15 Invert the 4/15 and multiply:
= 10 * 15/4
= 150/4
= 37.5 acres.
Answer:
decrease by 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Decreased by 60% = (100%-60%)x = 0.4x.
Decreased by 20% = (100%-20%)x = 0.8x.
initial fraction, and we can see that denominator will increase 2 times, so fraction will decrease 2 times, or decrease by 50%.

Answer:
No, Elias doesn't have enough quantity of each ingredient to make 45 mince pies.
Step-by-step explanation:
For making 18 Mince Pies Elias needs
200g Butter
225g flour
150g sugar
250g Mincemeat
1 egg
Inorder to make 45 mince pie's he's gonna need 45/18=2.5 times the ingredients he needs to make 18 Mince Pies.
As he doesn't have enough Mincemeat (has only 600g but needs 250*2.5=625g of mincemeat)
As he is short of 25g of Mincemeat, he is unable to make 45 Mincepies.
