Question
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)
acres
To find the number of acres harvested in 10 hours, we can set up a proportion:
180 acres / 6 hours = x acres / 10 hours
To find x, we can cross multiply:
6 hours * x acres = 180 acres * 10 hours
Simplifying:
6x = 1800
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 300
Therefore, the John Deere combine machine can harvest 300 acres in 10 hours.
