C) 1/200 acres
D) 1/32 acres

Answer 1

C) 1/200 acres. To find out how many acres each person must plant, you need to divide the total area of the field by the number of people. In this case, the field is 4/5 acres and there are 40 people. Each person must plant 1/200 acres of seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many acres each person must plant, you need to divide the total area of the field by the number of people. In this case, the field is 4/5 acres and there are 40 people. To divide this equally, you can simply divide 4/5 by 40.

4/5 divided by 40 equals 1/200 acres. Therefore, each person must plant 1/200 acres of seeds.
