↵Please find below the solution to the asked query
This can be done by comparing the ratio of the two lands by the help of tables.
Land 1 with 5 beehives in 2 acres.
Land 2 with 8 beehives in 3 acres
We can compare the ratios in a table by finding where they have ratios in common. Then we can compare the values that the common number is paired with. From the given tables, the common ratio in both tables is 6. In table 1 (land 1), the 6 is paired with 15 beehives and in table 2 (land 2), 6 is paired with 16 beehives. Hence, land with 8 beehives in 3 acres will have more number of bees.
Hope this information will clear your doubts about the topic.
