The field was 5⁄6 of an acre and 1⁄3 of the field was planted in strawberries. How many acres are planted in strawberries?

Respuesta :

The field is 5/6'ths of an acre, and 1/3 of that was covered in strawberries. So, you want to know how many acres that is?

Well, first of all you have to get them even. 5/6 is already fine, so move on to 1/3. Now, to get the three as a 6, multiply by two, then do the same for the numerator. So, 1/3*2 on both sides=2/6

Now, you know that out of the 5/6 acre you have, 2/6 of that is strawberries. How much is an acre?  Well, 1 acre=43,560 square feet. This means that 2/6 of an acre, or .33 of an acre (decimal form) is 14,520 square feet.

Your acre is 14,520 square feet
