Question

A farmer's land is separated into sections of size 2 1/5 acres. Suppose there are 2 2/9 such sections. How many acres of land does the farmer own?​

Answer 1

`(44)/(29)`

Explanation:

The computation of the number of acres of land does the farmer owns is as follows:

Given that

the land of the farmer would be separated into size of
`2 (1)/(5)` acres

And, the sections would be
`2 (2)/(9)`

So,

The number of acres would be

`= 2 (1)/(5) + 2 (2)/(9)\\\\= (11)/(5) + (20)/(29)`

Now just multiply the denominator and numerator straight across

`= (11 * 20 )/(5 * 29) \\\\= (220)/(145) \\\\= (44)/(29)`
