Question

The equation a = 640s gives the relationship between s square miles and a acres. Pam owns 7.5 square miles of farmland. How many acres does she own? Question 2 options: 4,800 acres 1.17 acres 480 acres 11.72 acres

Answer 1

Answer:

4,800 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is

$a=640s$

where $s$ is square miles and $a$ is acres.

If Pam owns $7.5$ square miles of farmland, then $s=7.5$.

We need to substitute this value into the given equation to determine the acres she has.

This implies that,

$a=640\times 7.5$

We multiply to get,

$\Rightarrow a=4800$

Therefore Pam has 4,800 acres.

The correct answer is A
