Question

Brandon mows the neighbor's yard to earn extra cash during the summer. He estimates that he mows 1/4 an acre every 1/2 hour. How many acres does he mow each hour?

Answer 1

zymiyas, this is the solution:

Brandon mows 1/4 an acre every 1/2 hour, therefore:

1/2 hour * 2 = one hour

1/4 * 2 = 2/4 or 1/2 an acre

Brandon will mow 1/2 an acre every hour
