A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn. Let use "W" to represent the Wheat and let use "C" to represent the corn. Hence, we have below:
W=C+480

The farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn and the area of the wheat is 300 acres less than the area of the corn:
W-0.8W=C-0.25C+300
0.2W=0.75C+300
We have two equations, two unknowns:
0.2(C+480)=0.75C+300
0.2C+96=0.75C+300
0.55C=294
C=534.55

Answer:

wheat acres is 1200.Corn acres is 720.

Step-by-step explanation:

A farm had 480 acres more wheat than corn.W represent wheat.C represents corn.So the equation for this part is:W=C+480.

After the farmers collected 80% of the wheat and 25% of the corn, the area of the wheat was 300 acres less than the area of the corn. So the equation is:W-w-0.8W+300=C-0.25C.which simplfies to:

0.2W+300=0.75C

we have 2 eqations with unknown variables.

W=C+480

0.2W+300=0.75C

we will use the substitution method by plugging in the first equation into the second equation.

0.2(C+480)+300=0.75C.

now solve for C.

0.2C+96+300=0.75C.

396=0.55C

C=720.

solve for W:

W=C+480

W=720+480

W=1200

Answer:

B) 60.21 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh

You can‘t used mixed measurements (feet and inches), so you have to convert each length to inches

8’6”=102’

14’2”=170’

Now find the area

1/2 x 102 x 170 = 8670 in²

This is one of the answers, but the quetion asks how many quart feet you need.

So, convert it back to feet.

8670 x 0.06944444444 = 60.2083333

(You could also have converted the two lengths to feet. 8’6” = 8.5 ft.  14’2” = 14.16666666.  This way would probably have been faster.

1/2 x 8.5 x 14.166666 = 60.20833333)

Mrs. Olive used 1 2/5 quarts of syrup and 5 3/10 quarts of water to make lemonade. How many quarts of lemonade did she make? * A
Flura [38]

Answer:

B. 6 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above y by carrying out addition.

The quarts of Lemonade she made is calculated as:

1 2/5 quarts of syrup + 5 3/10 quarts of water

= 1 + 5 + (2/5 + 3/10)

Lowest common denominator = 10

= 6 ( 4 + 3/10)

= 6 7/10 quarts of Lemonade

Mrs Olive made 6 7/10 quarts of Lemonade
