Answer:

7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

1[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] of an acre or 1.4 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of 10 and 2 is 10.

Convert [tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to fractions with a denominator of 10.

[tex]\frac{9}{10}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Since these fractions now have the same denominator, add them by adding the numerators.

[tex]\frac{9+5}{10}[/tex]

Add 9 and 5 to get 14.

[tex]\frac{14}{10}[/tex]

Reduce the fraction to the lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

[tex]\frac{7}{5}[/tex]= [tex]1\frac{2}{5}[/tex] =1.4
