A farmer divides 20 acres of land into one fourth acre sections. Into how many sections does the farmer divide her land?
Please let me know how do I go about figuring the above?
20 times 4 because there is 4 sections per acre so 80 in total.
as said befor the answer is 80 and it askes you to divied and flip the 1/4 and do 20 x 4 and it will give you 80 hope this was helpful
The answer is 80
That makes sense. Ty
Welcome anytime!
I did this math problem on paper and got 20 divided by 1/4 = 20/1 x the reciprocal of 1/4, which is 4/1, = 80/1. So the problem looks like this:
20 divided by 1/4 = 20/1 x 4/1 = 80/1
