Question 3 WAEC_MODEL_QUESTIONS_VOL1 • 2020 • AGRICULTURAL_SCIENCE • practical

A farmer intends to use a hand hoe to prepare a garden plot that measures 30 m in length and 12 m in width. The hand hoe has a blade length of 0.45 m and an effective cutting width of 0.12 m. The farmer makes a forward pass along the length of the plot, then turns and makes a second pass parallel to the first, continuing until the whole plot is tilled.

Question Parts

( a )

Calculate the area of soil turned in one forward pass of the hoe.

( b )

Estimate the total number of forward passes required to till the whole plot, assuming no overlap and that the farmer works systematically from one edge to the other.

( c )

Identify two possible sources of error that could cause the actual number of passes to differ from the calculated estimate, and suggest a practical way to minimise each error.
