Question

Mr. Daniel has 1 2/3 acres of land in which he plans to fertilize. If each bag of fertilizer covers 1/9 of an acre and be bought 20 bags, how much will he have leftover?

Answer 1

He will have 5 bags leftover.

Answer 2

Answer: 5 bags

Explanation:

Given : Mr. Daniel has
`1(2)/(3)` acres of land in which he plans to fertilize.

Here
`1(2)/(3)=(3(1)+2)/(3)=(5)/(3)`

Each bag of fertilizer covers
`(1)/(9)` of an acre .

By using UNITARY METHOD ,the number of bags of fertilizer required for
`(5)/(3)` of an acre :-

`(5)/(3)/(1)/(9)=(5)/(3)*9=15\text{ bags}`

If he bought 20 bags of fertilizer , then he left over = 20 -15 = 5 bags

hence, he left over with 5 bags of fertilizer.
