A farmer owns a total of 9 3/4 acres of land. The land is separated into 3 equally sized sections. How many acres are in each section?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3.25 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total land owns by a farmer = [tex]9\frac{3}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex]

Land separated into = 3 equal size

Question asked:

Acres are in each section = ?

Solution:

By applying simple division process,

Total land =  [tex]9\frac{3}{4}[/tex] =  [tex]\frac{39}{4}[/tex]

Separated among =  3 equal size

Each section has = [tex]\frac{39}{4} \div 3[/tex]

                            =  [tex]\frac{39}{4}\times\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

                            = [tex]\frac{39}{12} = 3.25[/tex]

Therefore, acres are in each section = 3.25
