1/4 hour → 1/8 acre.

Multiply by 4 on both sides:
1 hour → 1/8 x 4 = 1/2 acre.

Answer: 1/2 Acre

Hello!

First you have to find what you multiply the unit rate to get 1 hour

1 / 4 * 4 = 1

Now you multiply what you that by how much he mows

1 / 8 * 4 = 4 / 8 or 0.5

He mows 0.5 acres an hour

The answer is 4 / 8 or 0.5

Hope this helps!
