Answer: No, Cammie is not correct. She can mow [tex]1\frac{1}{5}\ acres[/tex] in one hour (See explanation).
Step-by-step explanation:
Convert the mixed number to an impoper fraction:
1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and add the product to the numerator.
2. The denominator does not change.
Then:
[tex]1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(1*4)+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}[/tex]
Let be "x" the acres Cammie can mow in one hour.
You know that she can mow [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ acre[/tex] in 25 minutes, then you can set up the following proportion (Remember that 1 hour has 60 minutes):
[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}[/tex]
Solving for "x", you get:
[tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}\\\\(60)(\frac{1}{50})=x\\\\x=\frac{6}{5}[/tex]
Convert from improper fraction to mixed number:
1. When you divide 6 by 5, the quotient is 1. This will be the whole number part.
2. The remainder is 1. This will be the numerator.
3. The denominator does not change.
Then:
[tex]x=1\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, she can mow [tex]1\frac{1}{5}\ acres[/tex] in one hour.
