Question

Stephan owns a landscaping company. Today, he is mowing three lawns: one is of an acre, one is į of an acre, and oneis 14 acres. How many acres of lawn is Stephan going to mow today? Simplify your answer and write it as a mixedfraction if necessary.21 acres

Answer 1

The acres of lawn mowed by Stephen is the total of the fractions of each of the mowed lawns.

Thus, we have:

`(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+1(1)/(3)`

Simplifying the fraction above, we have:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)+(1)/(2)+(4)/(3) \\ \text{The L.C.M of 4, 2 and 3 is 12} \\ \text{Thus, we have:} \\ (3+6+16)/(12)=(25)/(12) \\ 2(1)/(12) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the correct option is Option A.
