Question

A sprinkler system is designed to water 5/8 acre of land in 1/4 hour. How many acres of land can it water in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Hi there!

If a sprinkler system can water 5/8 acre of land in 1/4 hour, it can water 20/8 acre of a land in one hour. When turned into a mixed number you get that it can water 2 & 1/2 acres of land in 1 hour.

Answer 2

5/8 acre of land/ 1/4 hour= 2.5 acres of land/hour.

The final answer is 2.5 acres of land in 1 hour~
