SIZE A ranch in Wyoming is
approximately 825,000 acres. If 8,684
zoos could fit inside the ranch, with 20
acres of ranch left over, how many acres
does each zoo cover?​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Each zoo covers 95 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Ranch covers = 825,000 acres

Zoo fitted inside the ranch = 8,684

Leftover acres = 20

Acres covered by each zoo = ?

Solution:

Let's suppose that the acres covered by each zoo is donated by a symbol "A"

According to the given condition, we develop a mathematical equation as follow:

8,684 A + 20 = 825,000

8,684 A = 825,000 - 20

8,684 A = 824,980

A = 824,980 / 8,684

A = 95

So, the acres covered by each zoo is 95.
