I’m a section in the wodb1 1/9 acres of trees were cut in 3 weeks 1/3 of the are was cut every week find the number of acres that was cut each week write the fraction as a/b

Answer 1

The question is how much is 1/3 of 1 1/9 acres.

First make 1 1/9 as an improper fraction: 10/9 now you can calculate 1/3 from it by using division: 10/9 : 3 = 10/9 x 1/3 = 10/27. (a/b), also you can change 10/9 to a decimal number = 1,11 and divided it by 3 = 0.37 acres were cut every week. By doing that you check for accuracy, 10/27 = 0,37
