A farm has 75 acres of wheat. The farmer can harvest the wheat from 12 acres per day. In how many days will all of the fields be harvested?

Answer 1

Solution: The field will be harvested in approximately in 7 days.

Explanation:

Let the number of days be x in which the fields will completely harvested.

The farmer can harvest the wheat from 12 acres per day.

In x days he farmer can harvest 12x acres.

It is given that the farmer has 75 acres of wheat.

$12x=75$

$x=\frac{75}{12}$

$x=6.25$

In 6th day the field will not harvested completely.

Therefore, the field will be harvested in approximately in 7 days.

Answer 2

To figure this one out, you need to divide. 75/12 is 6.25. So the fields would be plowed in approximately 7 days or one week.
