Question

pecan trees yield 45 pounds per acre and hazelnut trees yield 25 pounds per acre. suppose jenna's farm has p acres of pecan trees, h acres of hazelnut trees, and yields 900 pounds of nuts. what is the equation that represents this scenario?

Answer 1

Pecan trees yield 45 pounds per acre , And Jenna has p acres for pecan.

So total yield by pecan trees = (pounds per acre) times (total acres for pecan).

Hence, Total yield by pecan trees = 45 x p.

Now,

Hazelnut trees yield 25 pounds per acre and Jenna has h acres for Hazelnut.

So total yield by Hazelnut = (pounds per acre) times (total acres for hazelnut).

Hence, Total yield by Hazelnut = 25 x h.

Total yield = Pecan's yield + Hazelnut's yield.

Hence, so we got 45p + 25h = 900.
