Answer:
37.5 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of his land where vegetables are grown
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5
(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.
= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15 LCD of 3 and 15= 15 so we write:
= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15
= 1 - (5+6)/16
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15.
4 /15 is equivalent to 10 acres
so total area (= 1) = 10 / 4/15 Invert the 4/15 and multiply:
= 10 * 15/4
= 150/4
= 37.5 acres.
Let us start with assuming the amount of coffee worth $20 a pound to be "x" pounds.
Now she wants to mix "x" pounds of $20 coffee with 70 pounds of $90 coffee.
So the mixture would be (x + 70) pounds.
And the value of mixture would be = 20·x + (90)·(70) = (20x + 6300) dollars.
She want to sell this mixture at rate of $30 a pound. Her earning would be = 30·(x + 70) = (30x + 2100) dollars.
We know that the value of mixture would be equal to her earnings.
30x + 2100 = 20x + 6300
30x - 20x = 6300 - 2100
10x = 4200
x = 420
So, 420 pounds of $20 coffee would be used.
The answer is 500 50 times, 10 is 500
