If a tractor can plow 2 acr of land in 4 hours, how many acres can it plow in 8 hours?

1. 4 acrs
2. 6 acrs
3. 8 acrs
4. 10 acrs

The tractor can plow 8 acres of land in 8 hours.

We can find this out by assuming the tractor plows at a constant rate.

• Plowing rate: We know the tractor can plow 2 acres in 4 hours. This translates to a rate of 2 acres / 4 hours = 0.5 acres per hour.
• Plowing for 8 hours: If the tractor maintains this rate for 8 hours, the total area plowed will be:

Total area plowed = Plowing rate * Time = 0.5 acres/hour * 8 hours = 4 acres

Therefore, the tractor can plow 4 acres of land in 8 hours
