Question

Four 1/8 tons of gravel spread evenly across to one over 6 acres how many tons of gravel are on each acre

Answer 1

3 tons of gravel on each acre

Explanation:

To find out how many tons of gravel are on each acre, you can divide the total amount of gravel (4/8 tons) by the number of acres (1/6 acre):

(4/8 tons) ÷ (1/6 acre)

First, simplify the fractions:

(1/2 tons) ÷ (1/6 acre)

Now, divide the fractions. To divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal of the second fraction:

(1/2 tons) × (6/1 acre)

Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:

(1 × 6) / (2 × 1) = 6/2

Finally, simplify the fraction:

6/2 = 3

So, there are 3 tons of gravel on each acre.
