On a small island, 63 people live on 21 acres of land. If another 42 people move to the island how many acres will the 105 people live on?

Hey there!

If 63 people live on 21, acres, that means that 63/21 = 3, so every 1 acre is 3 people. So we can divide 105/3 and we get 35, which means 105 people will live on 35 acres.

Have a great day!
