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 answer

To determine how many acres can be harvested in 10 hours, we first need to find the rate at which the combine harvester works.

Given that it can harvest 180 acres in 6 hours, we can calculate the rate as follows:

  1. Calculate the rate of harvesting: \[ \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Total acres}}{\text{Total hours}} = \frac{180 \text{ acres}}{6 \text{ hours}} = 30 \text{ acres per hour} \]

  2. Now, we can find out how many acres can be harvested in 10 hours: \[ \text{Acres in 10 hours} = \text{Rate} \times \text{Time} = 30 \text{ acres per hour} \times 10 \text{ hours} = 300 \text{ acres} \]

Therefore, the combine can harvest 300 acres of wheat in 10 hours.
