We know the numbers must be consecutive even numbers, from the list 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, and so on. The product ad is 6 more than the sum bc. By testing some possible ad products (even numbers separated by two other even numbers), we can quickly see that the numbers have to be quite small: 6x12 is 72, much highe...

A farmer with 1,350 acres of land had planted his fields with corn, sugar cane, and tobacco in the ratio of 5:2:2, respectively, but he wanted to make more money, so he shifted the ratio to 2:2:5, respectively. How many more acres of land were planted with tobacco under the new system?
[ "450", "270", "90", "300" ]
A
Originally (2/9)*1350 = 300 acres were planted with tobacco. In the new system (5/9)*1350 = 750 acres were planted with tobacco. Thus 750-300 = 450 more acres were planted with tobacco. The answer is E.
