shawn has two fields on his farm. he plants two types of corn. each field has 60 rows of cornstalks. type a grows better so there are 8 cornstalks in each row. type b does not grow as well so there are only 3 cornstalks in each row. how many cornstalks are in each field?

You can use the fact that there are 8 cornstalks of type A, and 3 cornstalks of type B in each row of the both fields on his farm.

The number of cornstalks in each field is 660

How to calculate the number of cornstalks in each field?

There are 60 rows in each field.

It is said that there are two types of cornstalks and there are 8 cornstalk per row of type A and 3 types of cornstalk per row of type B.

Thus, each row consists of 8 + 3 = 11 cornstalks.

Now these 11 cornstalks have to be added 60 times (since there are 60 rows in each field) . This, with the use of multiplication, can be written as

[tex]\text{Total cornstalks on each field} = 11 + 11 + 11... (\rm60 \: times) = 11 \times 60 = 660[/tex]

Thus,

The number of cornstalks in each field is 660
