Find the area of each site if the area of the second site is 324 hectares larger than the area of the first site
Find the area of each site if the area of the second site is 324 hectares larger than the area of the first site, and the area of the first site is 7 times less than the area of the second.
The solution of the problem:
1. The area of the first plot is x hectares.
2. Let’s find the area of the second site.
x + 324 hectares.
3. Determine the area of the second site.
x * 7 = 7x hectares.
4. Let’s compose and solve the equation:
x + 324 = 7x
324 = 7x-x
324 = 6x
x = 324/6 x = 54
5. The area of the first plot is equal to x = 54 hectares.
6. Let’s find the area of the second site.
x + 324 = 54 + 324 = 378 hectares.
The area of the second plot is also equal to:
7 * x = 7 * 54 = 378 hectares.
Answer: the area of the first site is fifty-four hectares, and the area of the second site is three hundred and seventy-eight hectares.
