Question

A farmer's land is separated into sections of size 2 1/5 acres. Suppose there are 2 2/9 such sections. How many acres of land does the farmer own?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{44}{29}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of acres of land does the farmer owns is as follows:

Given that

the land of the farmer would be separated into size of $2 \frac{1}{5}$ acres

And, the sections would be $2 \frac{2}{9}$

So,

The number of acres would be

$= 2 \frac{1}{5} + 2 \frac{2}{9}\\\\= \frac{11}{5} + \frac{20}{29}$

Now just multiply the denominator and numerator straight across

$= \frac{11 \times 20 }{5 \times 29} \\\\= \frac{220}{145} \\\\= \frac{44}{29}$
