Question

A plot of corn is 8 1/2 yards wide. It is 9 1/4 times as long as it is wide. How long is the plot of corn?

Answer 1

`78 (5)/(8)`

Explanation:

`for \: the \: width = 8 \tfrac{1}{2} \\ = (17)/(2) \\ sine \: the \: width \: is \: 9 (1)/(4) a \: long \\ 9 \ (1)/(4) = (37)/(4) \\ lenht \: of \: the \: plot = \ (17)/(2) * (37)/(4) = (629)/(8) = 78 \ (5)/(8) \\ it \: will \: be78 \ (5)/(8)long`
