Question

if a investor wanted to combine 3/4 acre Parcels with 1.6 acre partial how big will the partial be expressed as a decimal

Answer 1

To find the size of the combined parcel, you will convert the 3/4 to a decimal.

You can divide 3 and 4 to get 0.75 or you could create equivalent ratios with a denominator of 100.

3  =  75
4      100

This equals 0.75.

Now add 0.75 and 1.6

 1.60
+0.75
 2.35

The new parcel is 2.35 acres.

Answer 2

Answer:

2.35 acre

Step-by-step explanation:

$1.6=\frac{16}{10}\\\Rightarrow 1.6=\frac{8}{5}$

Add $\frac{3}{4}$ to $\frac{8}{5}$

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{8}{5}$

Taking Lowest Common Multiple, we get

$\\=\frac{15+32}{20}\\=\frac{47}{20}\\=\frac{47}{2\times 10}\\=\frac{4.7}{2}\\=2.35$

∴ The size of the partial will be 2.35 acre
