Answer: No, Cammie is not correct. She can mow  1\frac{1}{5}\ acres in one hour (See explanation).

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to an impoper fraction:

1. Multiply the whole number part by the denominator of the fraction and add the product to the numerator.

2. The denominator does not change.

Then:

1\frac{1}{4}=\frac{(1*4)+1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}

Let be "x" the acres Cammie can mow in one hour.

You know that she can mow \frac{1}{2}\ acre in 25 minutes, then you can set up the following proportion (Remember that 1 hour has 60 minutes):

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}

Solving for "x", you get:

\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{25}=\frac{x}{60}\\\\(60)(\frac{1}{50})=x\\\\x=\frac{6}{5}

Convert from improper fraction to mixed number:

1. When you divide 6 by 5, the quotient is 1. This will be the whole number part.

2. The remainder is 1. This will be the numerator.

3. The denominator does not change.

Then:

x=1\frac{1}{5}

Therefore, she can mow  1\frac{1}{5}\ acres in one hour.

Multiply.

So you're initial equation is (2/6)*24=m. Well since 2/6=1/3, plug in 24 for the 1 in 1/3. So 24/3=m, and 24/3=8 so m=8.
