The land 3

A farmer uses 1/3 of his land to grow cassava, 2/5 to grow maize, and the rest for vegetables. If the area used to grow vegetables is 10 acres, what is the total area of the land?

Final Answer:

A =  37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} A/3+\frac{2}{5}\cdot A+10=A \\ A/3+2/5\cdot A+10=A \\ 4A=150 \\ A=\frac{150}{4}=37.5 \\ A=\frac{75}{2}=37.5=37\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$$
