Question

A farmer plants the same amount every day, adding up to 4 1/2 acres at the end of the year. If the year is 2/3 over, how many acres has the farmer planted

Answer 1

Answer:

3 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

If the farmer plants 4 1/2 acres in one full year, to figure out how much is planted if the year is 2/3 over, just do:

= $\frac{2}{3}$ $of$ $4\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{2}{3} * 4 \frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{2}{3} * \frac{9}{2}$

= $3$

This means that 3 acres are planted
