A farmer cultivates 5 hectares of rice and obtains a yield of 4.2 tonnes per hectare. Find the total yield in tonnes.

Step-by-step solution

1. First, note the yield per hectare is $4.2$ tonnes.
2. Multiply the yield per hectare by the area: $4.2\text{ t/ha}\times 5\text{ ha}$.
3. Perform the multiplication: $4.2\times 5=21$.
4. Thus the total yield is $21$ tonnes.
