A farmer owns a total of
8
acres of land. The land is separated into
3 3/5
equally sized sections. How many acres are in each section?
Write your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.
Acres in each section =
8 / [3 3/5] =
8 / [ 18 /5] =
[ 8 /1] / [ 18/5] =
8/1 * 5 /18 =
40 / 18 =
20/ 9 = 2 + 2/9 acres in each section
