Question

Mr A's farm has a total area of 92 hectares. Last year he grew 43 hectares of maize, Mr B's farm has a total area of 125 hectares. Last year he grew 68 hectares of maize. Who grew the greatest proportion of maize on their farm, Mr A or Mr B? ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This would vary on the crop and the per capita consumption of that specific crop.

For example, lets take chilli in Sri Lanka.

Chilli per capita consumption per annum - 2.84kgs

Yield/acre/season of chilli - 9.5MT

Chilli crop rotations/acre/year - 3

Total yield/acre/one year - 9.5MT x 3 = 28.5MT

People fed per year off one acre = Yield per acre per year / per capita consumtion.

= 28,500 / 2.84

= 10,035 people fed per year off one acre.

The above calculations could be repeated for different crops.
