Respuesta :

A farmer plants 3/8 of her land with coconuts and 4/5 of the remainder with apple ,he has 2.5 acres left to plant rice, total acres of land planted with apples is 10 acres

As given in the question,

Let x represents total land.

Acres of land used to plant coconuts = (3/8)x

Remaining land = x- (3/8)x

                         =5x/8

Acres of land used to plant apples = (4/5) × (5x/8)

                                         = x/2

Acres of land used to plant rice = 2.5 acres

As per given condition,

x = (3/8)x+ x/2 +2.5

⇒8x =3x+ 4x+ 20

⇒x= 20acres

Therefore, acres of land planted with apples is 10 acres
