Question

A 6-acre piece of land is subdivided into 3/7-acre lots. How many lots are there?There are ? lots.

Answer 1

The given piece of land is 6-acre. It is subdivided into 3/7-acre lots.

Divide 6-acres by 3/7-acre to compute the number of lots.

`\text{Use }(a)/((b)/(c))=a*(c)/(b)`

`(6)/((3)/(7))=6*(7)/(3)`

`(6)/((3)/(7))=3*2*(7)/(3)`

`(6)/((3)/(7))=2*7`

`(6)/((3)/(7))=14`

Hence there are 14 lots.
