A farmers land is separated into sections of size 2 1/7 acres. Suppose there are 4 1/3 such sections. How many acres of land does the farmer own.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The farmer owns [tex]9\frac{2}{7}[/tex] acres of land.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Size of each section of land = [tex]2\frac{1}{7}[/tex] acres

Number of sections land is divided into = [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex] sections

To calculate the acres of land owned by farmer, we will multiply the number of sections and size of each section.

Total land owned by farmer = [tex]2\frac{1}{7}*4\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Total land = [tex]\frac{15}{7}*\frac{13}{3} = \frac{195}{21} = \frac{65}{7}[/tex]

Total land = [tex]9\frac{2}{7}[/tex] acres

Hence,

The farmer owns [tex]9\frac{2}{7}[/tex] acres of land.
