Three tractor drivers plowed 132.4 hectares of land, with the first of them plowing 1.1 times more than the second

Three tractor drivers plowed 132.4 hectares of land, with the first of them plowing 1.1 times more than the second, and the third plowing 1.1 times less than the second. What area did each tractor driver plow?

To solve this problem, let’s compose an equation.

Let the second tractor driver plow x ha, then the first tractor plowed 1.1x ha and the third tractor plowed 0.9x ha.

We get the equation: 1.1x + x + 0.9x = 132.4.

Let’s solve this equation.

1.1x + x + 0.9x = 132.4.

3x = 132.4.

x = 44.13 ha.

Let’s find how much the first tractor driver plowed:

1.1 * 44.13 ha = 48.543 ha.

Let’s find how much the third tractor driver plowed:

0.9 * 44.13 ha = 39.717 ha.

Answer: tractor drivers plowed 48.543 hectares, 44.13 hectares and 39.717 hectares.
