Answer:
37.5 acres.
Step-by-step explanation:
Fraction of his land where vegetables are grown
= 1 - 1/3 - 2/3 *3/5
(after taking away 1/3 we get 2/3 and the farmer uses 3/5 of this 2/3 to grow Maize.
= 1 - 1/3 - 6/15 LCD of 3 and 15= 15 so we write:
= 1 - 5/15 - 6/15
= 1 - (5+6)/16
= 1 - 11/15
= 4/15.
4 /15 is equivalent to 10 acres
so total area (= 1) = 10 / 4/15 Invert the 4/15 and multiply:
= 10 * 15/4
= 150/4
= 37.5 acres.
The answer is 3/4 and it was already simplified
Answer:
The correct answer is: C
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x - 5) < 14x + 8
First multiply 2 by 4x and -5
8x - 10 < 14x + 8
Now find out what x is
Move 14x to the left
8x - 14x - 10 = 8
Then move 10 to the right and change it's sign to plus
8x - 14x = 8 + 10
Now combine like terms
-6x = 18
Now divide 18 by 6 to get x
x = 18/-6
x = -3
