Question 4

A farmer has 400 acres available for cultivating crops A and B. He has a maximum of 13,200 hours of labor available. The labor required for cultivation crop A is 20 hours per acre and for crop B is 30 hours per acre.
Write the system of equations needed to determine how many acres of each crop should the farmer plant if he wishes to utilize all his resources.

(Let x = number of acres for cultivating crop A, y = number of acres for cultivating crop B).

Answer

• x+y = 400
  20x+30y=13200
• x+30y= 400
  x+20y =13200
• x+y= 400
  20x+4z=11200
• none of the above

Question 5
