What is the size of the farmland?
The size of the entire farmland can be represented by X, which means that he planted coconuts of 3/8*X
The portion left after planting coconuts is expressed thus:
X=3X/8=5X/8
The portion planted with oranges is 4/5 of 5X/8
5X/8-(4/5*5X/8)=2.5
5X/8-4X/8=2.5
5X-4X/8=2.5
X/8=2.5
X=2.5*8
X=20 acres ( in all)
Portion planted with coconuts=3/8*20
Portion planted with coconuts=7.5
The number of acres left after planting coconuts=20-7.5
The number of acres left after planting coconuts=12.5
portion planted with oranges=4/5*12.5
