Question

A neighborhood development that is 4 acres is to be divided into 2/3 acre lots. How many lots can be created?​

Answer 1

6 lots can be created

Solution:

Given that neighborhood development that is 4 acres is to be divided into
`(2)/(3)`acre lots

To find: number of lots created

From given information,

Total acres = 4

one lot =
`(2)/(3) \text{ acres }`

So number of lots created can be found by dividing the total acres by acre of 1 lot

Thus the formula is:

`\text{ Number of lots } = \frac{\text{ total acres }}{\text{ acre of 1 lot }}`

Substituting the values we get,

`\text{Number of lots } = (4)/((2)/(3)) = 4 * (3)/(2) = 6`

Thus 6 lots can be created
