The farmer will have \( \frac{33}{5} \) tons or \( 6 \frac{3}{5} \) tons of fertilizer left for his other crops.

Solución

1. Write the total amount of fertilizer as a fraction: \( \frac{127}{10} \) tons. 2. Write the amount required for the corn fields as a fraction: \( \frac{61}{10} \) tons. 3. Subtract the corn field amount from the total amount: \[ \frac{127}{10} - \frac{61}{10} = \frac{127 - 61}{10} = \frac{66}{10}. \] 4. Simplify the fraction \( \frac{66}{10} \) by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2: \[ \frac{66 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{33}{5}. \] 5. Optionally, convert the improper fraction to a mixed number: \[ \frac{33}{5} = 6 \frac{3}{5}. \] The farmer will have \( \frac{33}{5} \) tons, or \( 6 \frac{3}{5} \) tons, of fertilizer left for his other crops.

Beyond the Answer

To find out how much fertilizer the farmer will have left, we'll subtract the amount needed for the corn fields from the total amount ordered. The calculation is as follows: \[ \frac{127}{10} - \frac{61}{10} = \frac{127 - 61}{10} = \frac{66}{10} \] This fraction can be simplified to: \[ \frac{66}{10} = \frac{33}{5} = 6 \frac{3}{5} \] So, the farmer will have \( 6 \frac{3}{5} \) tons of fertilizer left for his other crops.
