A farmer owns a total of 9 acres of land. The land is separated into 4 2/7 equally sized sections. How many acres are in each section?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{10}\ \text{acres}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]9[/tex] acres of land split into [tex]4\dfrac{2}{7}[/tex].

Now

[tex]4\dfrac{2}{7}=4+\dfrac{2}{7}[/tex]

One section of land will be

[tex]\dfrac{9}{4+\dfrac{2}{7}}\\ =\dfrac{9}{\dfrac{30}{7}}\\ =\dfrac{63}{30}\\ =\dfrac{21}{10}=2\dfrac{1}{10}\ \text{acres}[/tex]

One section of the land is [tex]2\dfrac{1}{10}\ \text{acres}[/tex].
