Question

Chad owns 9 2/3 acres of farmland. He grows beets on 3/5 of the land. On how many acres of land does Chad grow beets?

Answer 1

5 4/5 acres

===========

Calculate 3/5 of the total land. To do this, we can multiply the total land by the fraction 3/5.

Converting the mixed number to an improper fraction, we get:

• 9 2/3 = (9 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 29/3

Multiplying 29/3 by 3/5, we get:

• (29/3) * (3/5) = (29 * 3) / (3 * 5) = 29/5 = 5 4/5
