Question

Pecan trees yield 45 pounds per acre and hazelnut trees yield 25 pounds per acre. Suppose Jenna’s farm has p acres of pecan trees, h acres of hazelnut trees, and yields 900 pounds of nuts. What is the equation that represents this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

  Equation, 45 p + 25 q = 900

Explanation:

 Pecan trees yield 45 pounds per acre and hazelnut trees yield 25 pounds per acre.

Pecan tree yield per acre = 45 pounds

Hazelnut tree yield per acre = 25 pounds

Acres of pecan trees in Jenna's farm = p

Acres of hazelnut trees in Jenna's farm = q

Total pounds of nut yielded = 900

So we have the equation,

         45 p + 25 q = 900
