Answer: 1 1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
A farmer owns 9 acres of land
It is divided into 4 2/7 portions equally
Therefore we have:
= 9 ÷ (4 2/7)
= 9 ÷ ( 30/7)
= 9 ×( 7/30)
Therefore we have,
= (9× 7)÷ 30
= 63/ 30
We have to find the greatest common factor (GCF), which is the largest positive integer that the numbers 63 and 30 can be divided by without leaving any remainder. That greatest common factor is 3.
We divide both numerator and denominator by 3
Therefore we have
= 21/10
Writing it in mixed number in a simple form,
= 1 1/10 .
We have 1 1/10 acres in each section.
