Answer:

[tex]\frac{4}{7}\ acres[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Walter takes [tex]7/10[/tex] of an hour to mow  [tex]2/5[/tex] of an acre of lawn

so by proportion

Find how many acres will he mow in an hour

[tex]\frac{(7/10)}{(2/5)}\frac{hours}{acres}=\frac{1}{x}\frac{hour}{acres}\\\\x=(2/5)/(7/10)\\ \\x=\frac{4}{7}\ acres[/tex]
