Question

Farmer brown can harvest 2 1/3 acres of corn in 1 day. How many days will it take him to harvest 10 1/2 acres of corn

Answer 1

4 1/2 or 4.5 days

Explanation:

If 2 1/3 acres of corn can be harvested in 1 day, then 10 1/2 acres can be harvested in (10 1/2)/(2 1/3)

(10 1/2)/(2 1/3)

= (21/2)/(7/3)

= 63/14

= 56/14 + 7/14

= 4 + 1/2

= 4 1/2 or 4.5 days
