Question

mr singleton runs his lawnmower for 2 1/4 hours on saturday and mows 1/2 acre if mr singleton is prepared to run his lawnmower for 9 hours next weekend how many will he be able to mow

Answer 1

2 acres

Explanation:

For 2 1/4 hours he mows 1/2 of an acre

I know that 1/4 of an hour is 15 minutes so I added 2 hours and 14 minutes 4 times to get 9 hours.

Now I know 2 1/4 of an hour times 4 equals 9 hours

1/2 an acre times 4 equals 2

He mows 2 acres
