Question

Mr John leased two thousand fifty meter square of land from the city administration. He gave one eighth of his land to his brother. How many meters square did he have left?

Answer 1

1793.75 m²

Explanation:

Given that :

Total amount of land leased = 2050 m²

Fraction of land given to brother = 1/8

Amount of land given to brother :

1/8 * 2050 = 256.25 m²

Amount of land left :

2050 m² - 256.25 m²

= 1793.75 m²
