Answer 1

There are 4840 yards in an acre and the area of Jake's parents yard is 960. Knowing this, multiply 4840 by 1.2 to determine how many yards are in his grandparents yard, which is 5808 yards. Next, divide 5808 by 960. You will get 6.05.
It will take Jake 6 1/2 or 6.5 hours to mow his grandparents yard.
