Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $10\frac{1}{2}\ per\ hour.$

Step-by-step 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 = $8\frac{3}{4}=\frac{35}{4}\ acres.$

The time he took to harvest = $\frac{5}{6}\ hour.$

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

$Distance = \frac{35}{4}\ acres.$

$Time=\frac{5}{6}\ hour.$

$Speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

$Speed=\frac{\frac{35}{4}}{\frac{5}{6}}$

$Speed=\frac{35}{4}\times \frac{6}{5}$

$Speed=\frac{210}{20}$

$Speed=\frac{21}{2}$

$Speed=10\frac{1}{2}\ per\ hour.$

Therefore, the answer is $10\frac{1}{2}\ per\ hour.$
