You are Farmer Berry and all five of your fields are growing cranberries. Field Condition Cranberries Blueberries A rocky 1 6. fertile sandy 6 moist 9 2 boggy 10

Answer 1

Q1. Field A

By switching A from cranberries to blueberries, I can get 6 blueberries at a loss of just one cranberry.

It means for each cranberry, I can get 6 blueberries. This ratio is highest in field A

In field B, by switching from cranberries to blueberries, I can get 7 blueberries at loss of 4 cranberries. So for each cranberry, I get 7/4 blueberries.

In field C, it is 4/6.

In field D, it is 2/9

In field E it is 1/10

Therefore, the answer is field A because it gives me the highest number of blueberries in return for each cranberry given up.

Q2. 6 blueberries

Q3. 1 cranberry
