Answer:
a b m n
Step-by-step explanation:
Well, if you want the maximum number of splits, then you want to make
each individual split as small as possible.
That's 2/3 acre. How many will that give you ?
(15 and 1/4) divided by (2/3)
= (15.25) / (0.666...) = 22.875 pieces .
The maximum number of 2/3-acre lots you can sell is 22 lots.
Then you have 58.3% of an acre of land left over that you can't sell
because it's less than 2/3 acre. Sadly, that 58.3% of an acre is just
about the size of the lot that I've been living n for almost 30 years.
You really know how to rub it in, dontcha !
35/23 is an improper fraction because the numerator is larger than the denominator.
To convert to a mixed number, use long division to find 35 into 23 goes in exactly one whole time (quotient) and there is 12 leftover (remainder)
You can see it through doing it like this
35/23 = (23+12)/23 = 23/23 + 12/23 = 1 + 12/23 = 1 & 12/23
So in short, 35/23 = 1 & 12/23
1 & 12/23 is a mixed number with 1 as the whole part and 12/23 as the fractional part.

Real life example: if you had 35 cookies and 23 friends, then each friend would get 1 whole cookie. There would be 12 cookies left over.
5 Grams of the pencil have been used up. This is because 1 decagram is equivalent to 10 grams.
