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)%0D%0A acres

To find out how many acres will be harvested in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion.

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

We know that 180 acres are harvested in 6 hours.

So, the proportion becomes:

180 acres / 6 hours = x acres / 10 hours

Cross multiplying, we get:

6 * x = 180 * 10

6x = 1800

Dividing both sides by 6, we get:

x = 300

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