Question

you have a order fencing for 25 acres rectangular field one side of the field measure exactly 1/4 Mile how many yards

Answer 1

transform the acres to miles

`25\longrightarrow(25)/(640)=(5)/(128)`

the area is 5/128 Miles

where x is the missing measure

if the area formula is

`A=B* H`

where A=5/128 , B=x and h=1/4

so replace and solve x on miles

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(128)=x((1)/(4)) \\ \\ x=(5*4)/(128*1) \\ \\ x=(5)/(32) \end{gathered}`

the missing measure is 5/32 Miles

now transform to yards

we multiply the miles by 1760

so

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(32)*1760 \\ \\ =275 \end{gathered}`

the missing measeure is 275 Yards
