Question

John has three parts that he mows each Park measures 2 and 1/2 miles by 2 3/4 miles how many square miles does he know in all

Answer 1

We will determine the number of square miles he mows as follows:

`A=(2(1)/(2))(2(3)/(4))\Rightarrow A=((4)/(2)+(1)/(2))((8)/(4)+(3)/(4))`
`\Rightarrow A=((5)/(2))((11)/(4))\Rightarrow A=(55)/(8)\Rightarrow A=6(7)/(8)\Rightarrow A=6.875`

So, he mows 55/8 square miles for each park.
