Final answer:
To find out how many 2/3 acre lots can fit into 20 acres of land, divide 20 by 0.6667 (the decimal form of 2/3). You will get around 30 lots, which is the maximum number of lots that can be created from the 20-acre plot.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the number of 2/3 acre lots that can be created from a 20-acre plot of land, you would divide the total acreage by the size of each lot. Since each lot is 2/3 of an acre, you would calculate as follows:
- Convert 2/3 acres to decimal form, which is approximately 0.6667 acres.
- Divide the total acreage (20 acres) by the size of one lot (0.6667 acres).
- The calculation is 20 ÷ 0.6667 = 30 lots (rounded down to the nearest whole number).
Therefore, the new development can have up to 30 lots of 2/3 acre each.
