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

Question

? acres

Answer 1

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

The proportion can be set up as:

180 acres / 6 hours = x acres / 10 hours

To solve for x, we can cross multiply:

6 hours * x acres = 10 hours * 180 acres

6x = 1800

Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by 6:

x = 1800 / 6

x = 300

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