Answer:
36 acres is used for growing rice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount of field used for growing rice be x.
Field for growing wheat = 48 acres
Field for growing other crops = 12 acres
Field for growing both rice and wheat = 16 acres.
The following is the expression of the above relationship :
Given that x is the area used for rice we have :
x + 48 + 12 - 16 = 80
From this we can get the value of x.
Solving we have :
x + 44 = 80
x = 80 - 44
x = 36 acres
36 acres is used for rice.
