Question

Mr. Daniel has 1 2/3 acres of land in which he plans to fertilize. If each bag of fertilizer covers 1/9 of an acre and be bought 20 bags, how much will he have leftover?

Answer 1

He will have 5 bags leftover.

Answer 2

Answer:  5 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Mr. Daniel has $1\dfrac{2}{3}$ acres of land in which he plans to fertilize.

Here $1\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{3(1)+2}{3}=\dfrac{5}{3}$

Each bag of fertilizer covers $\dfrac{1}{9}$ of an acre .

By  using UNITARY METHOD ,the number of bags of fertilizer required for  $\dfrac{5}{3}$ of an acre :-

$\dfrac{5}{3}\div\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{5}{3}\times9=15\text{ bags}$

If he bought 20 bags of fertilizer , then he left over = 20 -15 = 5 bags

hence, he left over with 5 bags of fertilizer.
