acres

1 answer

To find the number of acres that will be harvested in 10 hours, we can set up a 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 get:

x = 300

Therefore, the John Deere combine machine will harvest 300 acres in 10 hours.
