Question

A large farm has 75 acres of wheat and 62.5 acres of corn. The farm crew can harvest the wheat from 12 acres and the corn from 10 acres per day. In how many days will all of the fields be harvested?

Answer 1

The answer for either field being harvested is 6.25 days (acres/(rate of harvest))
The answer is probably seven because, even though a day can be divided into parts, the fields are done the seventh not the sixth. (I'm assuming the problem calls for whole days)
