Kyle harvested a total of 16.8 tons of wheat from 3 fields. The harvests from the first and second fields had the same weight. The harvest from the third field weighed 1.2 tons more than the harvest from the first field. How many tons of wheat did Kyle harvest from the third field?

Answer 1

Let x be the weight of the harvest from each of the first and second fields.
Therefore, the total weight of the first and second fields is 2x tons.
And the weight of the harvest from the third field is x + 1.2 tons.

Since the total weight of all 3 fields is 16.8 tons, we can write the equation:
2x + x + 1.2 = 16.8
3x + 1.2 = 16.8
3x = 15.6
x = 5.2

Therefore, Kyle harvested 5.2 tons of wheat from each of the first and second fields.
And from the third field, he harvested x + 1.2 = 5.2 + 1.2 = 6.4 tons.
So, Kyle harvested 6.4 tons of wheat from the third field.
