Question

Identify the corresponding word problem given the equation: x = 10 × 200 A) Frank and ten workers are hired to harvest tomatoes from a field. If each is given a plot which is 10 by 20 feet in size, what is the total area of the field? Eliminate B) Frank and nine workers are hired to harvest tomatoes from a field. If each is given a plot which is 10 by 20 feet in size, what is the total area of the field? C) Frank and ten workers are hired to harvest tomatoes from a field. The total area of the field is 2000 square feet. If the field is divided equally between the workers, what size plot must each worker harvest? D) Frank and nine workers are hired to harvest tomatoes from a field. The total area of the field is 2000 square feet. If the field is divided equally between the workers, what size plot must each worker harvest?

Answer 1

x = 10 x 200

x = 2000

The total area of the field is 2000 square feet, ten workers times 200 square feet plots.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The original equation is x=10×200
Frank and the # of workers hired= # of workers+Frank
x= the total area of the field, not how much each worker has to harvest
10×20=200
9+1=10
10×200=x
Solution: B. Frank and nine workers are hired to harvest tomatoes from a field. If each of the workers is given a plot which is 10 by 20 feet in size,what is the total area of the field?
