<PRE><B>Question 1106089</B>
The area of one field is 16 acres, and the area of the second field is 1 1/4  times bigger. A barn of wheat on the first field makes up 37 1/2 thousands of pounds per acre, and on the second 1 2/15  times as much per acre. How much more wheat was gathered from the second field than from the first?
-------------
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
