The number bushels they get from 15 acres of land is 2550
Solution:
Given that, farmer gets 340 bushels of corn from 2 acres of land
To find: Number bushels they get from 15 acres
Let us first find the unit rate, that is we have to find number of bushels from 1 acre of land
From given question,
2 acres of land = 340 bushels of corn
Therefore, for 1 acres of land,
[tex]\text{ number of bushels from 1 acre of land } = \frac{340}{2} = 170[/tex]
How many bushels can they get from 15 acres?
So, multiply the number of bushels from 1 acre of land by 15 to get answer
[tex]\text{number of bushels from 15 acre} = \text{ number of bushels from 1 acre } \times 15[/tex]
[tex]\text{number of bushels from 15 acre} = 170 \times 15 = 2550[/tex]
Thus number bushels they get from 15 acres of land is 2550
