Question

Hello! :)

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 350 - acres of pumpkins

Step-by-step explanation:

The Uncle owns 510 acres, and wants 190 more acres of pumpkin than squash totaling at 510.

When looking at the possible answers D is automatically wrong since the Uncle only owns 510 acres. When I added A and C I got 510 as an answer;

160 + 350 = 510

So he wants 190 more pumpkin acres than squash so 160 represents the squash and 350 represents the pumpkin.

160 + 190 = 350

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another way to find the answer is by taking 510 and subtracting 190 then dividing by two;

510 - 190 = 320

320 / 2 = 160

160 + 190 = 350

Then 160 would be squash and 350 would be pumpkin.

I hope this helps!
