Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

He has sold (16+1/4) bushels/day x 5 days = (16 x 5) + (1/4 x 5) = 80 + 5/4 = 81 + 1/4 = 81.25

The change in the number of bushels is 140 - 81.25 = 58.75 or 58 and 3/4 bushels

In other words, he has 58.75 (or 18 and 3/4) bushels remaining and has sold 81.25 (or 81 and 1/4) bushels
