Answer:
858 thousand pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The first field has an area of 16 acres; the second has an area "1 1/4 times bigger".
Most people will interpret that incorrectly, saying the area of the second field is 16 time 1 1/4, which is 20. But the grammatically correct interpretation of "1 1/4 times bigger" is the size of the first field, plus 1 1/4 more times the size of the first field.
So the size of the second field in acres is 16+%2B+1.25%2A16+=+36
So the first field has an area of 16 acres and the second has an area of 36 acres.
The first field yields 37.5 thousand pounds of wheat per acre. The total amount of wheat from the first field is 16%2A37500+=+600000
The yield from the second filed is 1 2/15 times as much per acre as the first field. The yield in pounds per acre for the second field is 37500%2A%2817%2F15%29+=+40500.
So the total amount of wheat from the second field is 36%2A40500+=+1458000
The difference in the total yield from the two fields is 1458000-600000+=+858000
The second field yielded 858 thousand pounds more of wheat.
The answer to this is the top left answer choice.
To set the equation,we can first find how much price would be raised within a year:
=500×(1+7%)
=500×1.07
As the years go by the increase would accumulate,and the equation would be:

Answer:
Daniel played soccer for 95 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
1) If he started at a quarter to 6 this means he started at 5:45 as a quarter is 15 minutes.
2) If he finished 20 minutes after 7 he ended at 7:20
3) Add 15 minutes to get to 6:00.
4) Since 60 minutes are in an hour, add 60 minutes to get 7:00. This brings our total up to 75 minutes.
5) Add the last 20 minutes to get the total amount of 95 minutes spent playing soccer.
