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

(2 1/6)/(4 1/8)=2.167/4.125=0.525

Answer 2

1.9 tons

Explanation:

`4(1)/(8)` tons of gravel is spread evenly across
`2(1)/(6)` acres.

`4(1)/(8)` tons =
`(33)/(8)` = 4.125 tons

`2(1)/(6)` acres =
`(13)/(6)` = 2.167 acres

On each acre gravel is spread =
`(4.125)/(2.167)`

= 1.9035533 ≈ 1.9 tons per acre.

1.9 tons of gravel is spread on each acre.
