Question

Daud bought a plot of land with an area of 6 2/5 km. He divided the land equally into 8 small plots. What was the total area of 3 of the small plots of land?

Answer 1

Answer:
`(12)/(5)\ km^2`

Explanation:

Given

The area of land is
`6(2)/(5)\ km^2`

Daud divide the land into 8 equal plots

So, the area of a single small plot is

`\Rightarrow ((30+2)/(5))/(8)\\\\\Rightarrow (32)/(5* 8)\\\\\Rightarrow (4)/(5)\ km^2`

The area of three such plots

`\Rightarrow 3* (4)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow (12)/(5)\ km^2`
