The farmer planted a rectangular field with wheat; the field length was 37.5 m, which is 1.5 times its width. How many quintals of wheat did the farmer collect from the whole field if he collected 42.8 quintals from each macaw?

The first step is to calculate what the width of the rectangular field is.

37.5 / 1.5 = 25 meters.

Let’s calculate what the area of the field is 37.5 m long and 25 m wide. To do this, we find the product of length and width.

S = 37.5 * 25 = 937.5 m².

Let’s translate square meters into ares.

1 ar = 100 m².

937.5 / 100 = 9.375 ar.

Let’s calculate how many centners of wheat the farmer collected from the whole field if he collected 42.8 centners from each macaw.

9.375 * 42.8 = 401.25 c.

Let’s convert centners to kilograms.

401.25 q = 40125 kilograms.

Answer: 40125 kg.
