Step-by-step solution

Here are the solutions for Item one:

Part a· 4 steps

Calculate the total area of the land allocated for cabbage.

  1. Calculate the total area of the land.

    The land measures 120 meters by 80 meters.

    Total Area=120 m×80 m=9600 m2\text{Total Area} = 120\, \text{m} \times 80\, \text{m} = 9600\, \text{m}^2
  2. Calculate the area used for maize and beans.

    Area for maize = 13\frac{1}{3} of total area

    Areamaize=13×9600 m2=3200 m2\text{Area}_{\text{maize}} = \frac{1}{3} \times 9600\, \text{m}^2 = 3200\, \text{m}^2

    Area for beans = 25% of total area

    Areabeans=0.25×9600 m2=2400 m2\text{Area}_{\text{beans}} = 0.25 \times 9600\, \text{m}^2 = 2400\, \text{m}^2
  3. Calculate the remaining land.

    Remaining Area=Total Area−(Areamaize+Areabeans)\text{Remaining Area} = \text{Total Area} - (\text{Area}_{\text{maize}} + \text{Area}_{\text{beans}}) Remaining Area=9600 m2−(3200 m2+2400 m2)\text{Remaining Area} = 9600\, \text{m}^2 - (3200\, \text{m}^2 + 2400\, \text{m}^2) Remaining Area=9600 m2−5600 m2=4000 m2\text{Remaining Area} = 9600\, \text{m}^2 - 5600\, \text{m}^2 = 4000\, \text{m}^2
  4. Allocate the remaining land to cabbage.

    The remaining land is shared by tomatoes and cabbage in the ratio 2:3. The total ratio parts are 2+3=52+3=5.
    The fraction of land for cabbage is 35\frac{3}{5}.

    Areacabbage=35×Remaining Area\text{Area}_{\text{cabbage}} = \frac{3}{5} \times \text{Remaining Area} Areacabbage=35×4000 m2=2400 m2\text{Area}_{\text{cabbage}} = \frac{3}{5} \times 4000\, \text{m}^2 = 2400\, \text{m}^2

    The total area of the land allocated for cabbage is 2400 m2\boxed{\text{2400 m}^2}.

Part b

Determine the actual yield of maize in kg after the percentage changes.

  1. Calculate the estimated maize yield.

    From part a), the area for maize is 3200 m23200\, \text{m}^2.
    Each square meter of maize land produces 5 kg of maize.

    Estimated Maize Yield=3200 m2×5 kg/m2=16000 kg\text{Estimated Maize Yield} = 3200\, \text{m}^2 \times 5\, \text{kg/m}^2 = 16000\, \text{kg}
  2. Apply the percentage decrease to find the actual yield.

    The maize yield decreased by 15%.

    Actual Maize Yield=Estimated Maize Yield×(1−0.15)\text{Actual Maize Yield} = \text{Estimated Maize Yield} \times (1 - 0.15) Actual Maize Yield=16000 kg×0.85\text{Actual Maize Yield} = 16000\, \text{kg} \times 0.85 Actual Maize Yield=13600 kg\text{Actual Maize Yield} = 13600\, \text{kg}

    The actual yield of maize is 13600 kg\boxed{\text{13600 kg}}.

Part c

18 m\text{18 m}

Determine the final altitude of the farm land relative to sea level after the flood.

  1. Identify the initial altitude of the farm land.

    The farm is located 30 meters above sea level.

    Initial Altitude=30 m\text{Initial Altitude} = 30\, \text{m}
  2. Account for the rise in water levels.

    The water levels rose by 12 meters. This means the new effective sea level is 12 meters higher than the original sea level.
    To find the farm land's altitude relative to the new sea level, subtract the water level rise from the initial altitude.

    Final Altitude=Initial Altitude−Water Level Rise\text{Final Altitude} = \text{Initial Altitude} - \text{Water Level Rise} Final Altitude=30 m−12 m=18 m\text{Final Altitude} = 30\, \text{m} - 12\, \text{m} = 18\, \text{m}

    The final altitude of the farm land relative to sea level after the flood is 18 m\boxed{\text{18 m}}.
