Nathan's lawnmower uses 2/3 of a tank of gas to cut three one-acre lawns. How many one-acre lawns can he cut with a full tank of gas?

Respuesta :

Using the data you have given, it seems he can cut 1 and a half lawns on a third of a tank of gas. Taking this data, and multiplying it by 3, Nathans lawn mower can mow down 4 one-acre lawns, and a lawn that's half an acre. (Your answer is basically 4 lawns)

The answer is "4".

Please find the question.

To find:

full tank gas=?

Solution:

Let

[tex](\frac{2}{3})[/tex] is to 3 as 1 is to x  

cross-multiplying the value

[tex]\to (\frac{2}{3})x=3\\\\\to x=3\times \frac{3}{2}=4.5 \approx 4[/tex]
