Answer:

A) She should buy the

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Part A:</u>

For question A, we find the areas of both plots and see which one is greater.

For the first one, we do 3/8 * 2/3

\frac{3}{8} * \frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}

The area of the first plot is 1/4 square miles

For the second one, we do 2/5 * 2/5

\frac{2}{5} *\frac{2}{5} = \frac{4}{25}

The area of the second plot is 4/25 square miles

We have 1/4 and 4/25.

To see which one is bigger, we make them have the same denominator, also known as the LCM (Least Common Multiple).

LCM(4,25) = 100

Now we make 1/4 have a denominator of 100

4 times what is 100?

25, so the numerator is 25 and the denominator is 100.

We get: 25/100

Now we make 4/25 have a denominator of 100

25 times what is 100?

4, so the numerator is 4 * 4 = 16 and the denominator is 100.

We get: 16/100

Now we can see which is bigger:

25/100 or 16/100

25/100 is bigger

Therefore, Miguel's mother should buy the plot with dimensions 3/8 and 2/3.

<u>Part B</u>

For part B, I'm not sure which plot of land she is going to pay for, so I will answer both.

We answered this in Part A already.

The 3/8 and 2/3 plot was 1/4 square miles and the 2/5 by 2/5 plot was 4/25 square miles.

Plot 1:

1/4 square miles

It said that it costs $750,000 for a square mile

This plot is 1/4 square miles, so we do

$750,000 * \frac{1}{4} = \frac{750,000}{4} = 187,500

The cost for plot 1 is $187,500

Plot 2:

4/25 square miles

It said that it costs $750,000 for a square mile

This plot is 4/25 square miles, so we do

750,000*\frac{4}{25} = \frac{3,000,000}{25} = 120,000

The cost for plot 1 is $120,000

So for the 3/8 by 2/3 plot, it cost $187,500 and for the 2/5 by 2/5 plot costs $120,000
