Question

In Adabraka, Accra, a field is divided into 50 equal plots. Mr. Ato owns 3 of the plots. What fraction of the field does he own?

a) 1/50
b) 1/25
c) 1/16
d) 3/50

Answer 1

Mr. Ato owns 3 of the 50 plots in a field in Adabraka, Accra. Therefore, the fraction of the field he owns is 3/50, which can be visualized as 3 slices of a 50-slice pie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked about the fraction of a field in Adabraka, Accra, that Mr. Ato owns. If the field is divided into 50 equal plots, and Mr. Ato owns 3 of these plots, then the fraction of the field he owns is calculated by dividing the number of plots he owns by the total number of plots. Thus, the fraction of the field Mr. Ato owns is 3/50.

To understand this concept, imagine each plot as a slice of a pie. If the pie has 50 slices and Mr. Ato has 3 slices, he has 3 out of 50 slices, or 3/50 of the pie. This makes it easier to visualize the fraction of the whole that Mr. Ato owns. The correct answer to the question is option d) 3/50.
