A farmer is able to prepare 1/2 are of soil in 3 days. How long will it take him to prepare 2 1/4 acres of soil?
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 13 1/2 days
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 acre 2 1/4 acre
------------ = -------------------------
3 days x days
using cross products
1/2 * x = 2 1/4 * 3
change 2 1/4 to an improper fraction (4*2+1)/4 =9/4
1/2 x = 9/4*3
1/2x = 27/4
multiply each side by 2
2 * 1/2 x = 27/4 * 2
x = 27/2
change back to a mixed number
x = 13 1/2
