Question

4 1/8 tons of gravel is spread evenly across 2 1/6 acres.How many tons of gravel are on each acre

Answer 1

that would be 4 1/8 divided by 2 1/6

= 33/8 / 13/6 = 33/8 * 6/13 = 33/4 * 3/13 = 99/52

= 1 47/52 tons per acre. Answer.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 2.53 tons per acre.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tons of gravel is spread =
`4(1)/(8)=(33)/(8)\ tons`

Number of acres =
`2(1)/(6)=(13)/(6)\ acres`

So, Number of tons of gravels on each acre is given by

`((33)/(8))/((13)/(8))\\\\=(33)/(13)\\\\=2.53\ tons/acres`

Hence, there are 2.53 tons per acre.
