A square field that is 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide has area
So, to know how many of these fields fit in the biggest field, you have to divide their areas:
So, if the farmer divides his land into square fields that are 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide, he will have 16 of these smaller fields.
Answer:
1. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For question 1, you need to know the ratio between the recipe and the amount in question.
So if in the recipe, it says it uses 3/4 cup of diced ham, and the question uses 1 cup of diced ham, you can divide 1 by 3/4 to get 4/3. This is how many times bigger the amount used in the question than the recipe.
Then it asks for how many cups of potatoes, to do this, you look at the recipe and how many potatoes it uses: 3.5 cups
To solve it then, you just do 3.5 x 4/3 to get 4 cups of potatoes
There's your answer.
