Question

A farmer owns a total of 10 acres of land. The land is separated into 4 2/3 equally sized sections. How many acres are in each section? Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.

Answer 1

2 1/7 arces are in each section

Explanation:

4 2/3 is same as 14/3

So we want to divide 10 acres into 14/3 equally sized sections

Mathematically, that will be;

10/14/3

= 10/14 * 3 = 15/7 = 2 1/7 arces
