Question

Toms garden is 8 acres. Two fifths is corn. Of that, three tenths is early corn and one tenth is late corn. How many acres of early corn does he have ?

Answer 1

Answer:

He have 0.96 acres of early corn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Toms garden is 8 acres. Two fifths is corn.

Of that, three tenths is early corn and one tenth is late corn.

Now, to find the acres of early corn.

Total garden = 8 acres.

Total Corn in garden = $\frac{2}{5}\ of\ 8=\frac{2}{5} \times 8=\frac{16}{5}$ acres.

As, given of the total corn in garden, three tenths is early corn.

Now, to get the early corn he have:

= $\frac{3}{10} of \frac{16}{5}$

= $\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{16}{5}$

= $\frac{48}{50}$

= $0.96\ acres.$

Therefore, he have 0.96 acres of early corn.
