Question

If he divides his land into square fields that 1/4 mile long 1/4 mile wide how many fields will he have

Answer 1

Mathematical Problem:

A farmer has one square mile of land. He decided to divide his land into 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide.

What is the total of amount of fields?

Calculate the area of each field by implementing the following steps:

Step 1:

Use the Area formula: Area = length times width (L x W).

A = L x W L= 1/4 W = 1/4

Calculate the area of each field by multiplying the length 1/4 square mile by the width 1/4 square mile

Area = 1/4 times 1/4 = 1/16

1/4 x 1/4 = 1 x1 = 1 numerator (top) denominator (bottom) 4 x 4 = 16 = 1/16 square mile

Step 2:

1/16 square mile divided by 1 square mile

1 /16 square mile = 16

1 square mile

(cross or cancel out the 1's and unit's (square mile)

Solution: The farmer will have 16 fields.

I hope the mathematical calculations (step by step approach) was helpful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.
