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

Step-by-step explanation:

16 + 1.25*16 = 36 acres for the 2nd field

---

A barn of wheat on the first field makes up 37 1/2 thousands of pounds per acre = 16*37500 = 60000 pounds/acre

---

the second 1 2/15 times as much per acre. How much more wheat was gathered from the second field than from the first?

60000*(17/15) = 68000 pounds/acre for the 2nd field.

68000*36 = 2448000 pounds --- 2nd field

60000*16 = 960000 pounds --- 1st field

Subtract

Difference = 1488000 pounds
