Question

The newest John Deere combine machine can harvest 180 acres of wheat in 6 hours. How many acres will be harvested in 10 hours?(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of acres that will be harvested in 10 hours, we need to set up a proportion.

Let X be the number of acres harvested in 10 hours.

Then, we can set up the proportion:
180 acres / 6 hours = X acres / 10 hours

Cross multiplying, we get:
6 * X = 180 * 10

Simplifying, we have:
6X = 1800

Dividing both sides by 6, we find:
X = 300

Therefore, in 10 hours, the newest John Deere combine machine can harvest 300 acres of wheat.
