Pedro owns 5 7/10 acres of farmland. He grows beets on 1/8 of the land. On how many acres of land does Pedro grow beets?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Pedro owns 5 7/10 acres, in an improper fraction that is 57/10.  If 1/8 of the land is beets, then

[tex](\frac{1}{8})(\frac{57}{10} )=beets[/tex]

Mutiply across the top and bottom to get that

acres of beets = [tex]\frac{57}{80}=.7125[/tex]
