Question

A neighborhood development that is 4 acres is to be divided into 2/3 acre lots. How many lots can be created?​

Answer 1

6 lots can be created

Solution:

Given that neighborhood development that is 4 acres is to be divided into $\frac{2}{3}$acre lots

To find: number of lots created

From given information,

Total acres = 4

one lot = $\frac{2}{3} \text{ acres }$

So number of lots created can be found by dividing the total acres by acre of 1 lot

Thus the formula is:

$\text{ Number of lots } = \frac{\text{ total acres }}{\text{ acre of 1 lot }}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\text{Number of lots } = \frac{4}{\frac{2}{3}} = 4 \times \frac{3}{2} = 6$

Thus 6 lots can be created
