15) Joe had 1 /4 of an acre of land. He wanted to plant 3 different types of vegetables in equal amounts of space. How much land will he use for each type of vegetable?

Sagot :

Answer:

1/12 land would be used for each type of vegetable

Step-by-step explanation:

First, Joe has 1/4 of an acre of land and 3 different types of plants he wants to plant for equal distance within that area. To find out the land he will use for each type of vegetable you must divide 1/4 by 3

The simplest way to divide fractions is to use cross multiplication

1         1        1

_   x   _  =    _

4        3       12

Therefore 1/12 of an acre is the amount of land he will use for each type of vegetable.

To check this just multiply 1/12 by 3 giving you 3/12 which can be simplified back into 1/4
1/12 should be the correct answer
