Answer 1

In a Farm, there are:
=> 75 acres of wheat
=> 62.5 acres of corn
In each day, the farm crew can harvest:
=> 12 acres of wheat
=> 10 acres of corn
Find how many days can the farm crew harvest all of the plants,
=> 75 / 12
=> 6.25, thus the farm crew will take 6.25 days to be able to harvest acres of wheat
=> 62.5 / 10
=> 6.25, thus the farm crew will take 6.25 days also to harvest acres of corn.
