The area of one field is 16 acres and the area of the second field is 1 1/4 times bigger. a barn of wheat on the first field makes up 37 1/2 thousands of pounds per acre, and on the second 1 2/15 times as much per acre. how much more wheat was gathered from the second field than from the first?

250000 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of one field is 16 acres and the area of the second field is 1 1/4 times bigger. This means that the area of the second field is

1.25 × 16 = 20 acres.

A barn of wheat on the first field makes up 37 1/2 thousands of pounds per acre. This means that the total wheat on the first field will be the amount of wheat per acre × total number of acres. It becomes

37.5 × 16 = 600 000 pounds of wheat.

On the second, it is 1 2/15 times as much per acre. This means that an acre on the second field contains

17/15( converted 1 2/15 to improper fraction) times the number of wheat per acre on the first field.

Amount of wheat per acre for the second field = 17/15 × 37.5 = 42.5

This means that the total wheat on the second field will be the amount of wheat per acre × total number of acres. It becomes

42.5 × 20 = 850 000 pounds of wheat.

We will subtract the amount of wheat gathered from field 1 from the amount gathered from field 2. It becomes 850000 - 600000 = 250000 pounds of wheat. Therefore,

The amount of wheat gathered from the second field is 250000 pounds more than the amount from the first field

8121 because

130,000 divided by 16 is 8121
