A farmer's land is separated into sections of size 2 1/5 acres. Suppose there are
4 4/9 such sections. How many acres of land does the farmer own?

Respuesta :

Astute

We first convert [tex]\boxed{2 \frac{1}{5} }[/tex] into a whole number. Then, we do the same with the other unit. Then, we multply both of the improperly.

After doing that, we thenconvert the answer into a decimal, and that would be our answer, (answer) acres.

                                           ∵_____________________∵

[tex]\boxed{\frac{11}{5} * \frac{40}{9} } = \boxed{\boxed{\frac{88}{9} }}[/tex]

We then have our answer as an improper fraction. We convert this to a decimal.

[tex]\frac{88}{9} = 9.29[/tex]

ANSWER: 9.29 acres
