Question

A farmer owns a total of 10 acres of land. The land is separated into 4 2/3 equally sized sections. how many acres are in each section

Answer 1

x=5/3

Explanation:

Let X represent the number of acres in each section

`4 = 10 \\ (2)/(3) = x`

`4x = 10 * (2)/(3)`

`x = (10)/(4) * (2)/(3)`

`x = (5)/(2) * (2)/(3)`

`x = (5)/(3)`
