A farmer owns a total of 9 acres of land. The land is separated into 4 2/7 equally sized sections.
How many acres are in each section?

Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form. (ex) 2 3/4

Respuesta :

4 2/7=30/7
9÷30/7=63/30 or 31/15 or 2 1/15. As a result, there are 2 1/15 acres in one section. Hope it help!

Answer: 1 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer owns 9 acres of land

It is divided into 4 2/7 portions equally

Therefore we have:

= 9 ÷ (4 2/7)

= 9 ÷ ( 30/7)

= 9 ×( 7/30)

Therefore we have,

= (9× 7)÷ 30

= 63/ 30

We have to find the greatest common factor (GCF), which is the largest positive integer that the numbers 63 and 30 can be divided by without leaving any remainder. That greatest common factor is 3.

We divide both numerator and denominator by 3

Therefore we have

= 21/10

Writing it in mixed number in a simple form,

= 1 1/10 .

We have 1 1/10 acres in each section.
