Question

A farmer owns 30 acres of land. Of the 30 acres, only 65% can be farmed. How many acres are available for farming?

Answer 1

To calculate the available farming land, 65% of the total 30 acres is determined, resulting in 19.5 acres available for farming.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many acres are available for farming, we need to calculate 65% of the total 30 acres of land the farmer owns.

The calculation is as follows:

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100: 65% / 100 = 0.65.
2. Multiply the total acres by the decimal: 30 acres × 0.65 = 19.5 acres.

Therefore, 19.5 acres of the farmer's land can be used for farming.

Answer 2

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

30 * 0.65 = 19.5 acres are available for farming.
