A farmer has one square mile of land, if he divides the land into square fields that are 1/4 mile long and 1/4 mile wide how many fields will he have
Each side of the 1 square mile field is 1 mile long.
1/(1/4) = 1 * 4 = 4. Four fields on a side.
4 * 4 = _______ fields
A = 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16 Sq. miles. = Area of each small square.
1/(1/16) = 16 Fields.
To find out how many square fields the farmer will have on one square mile of land, we need to determine the total area of one square field and then divide the total area of the land by the area of one square field.
The area of one square field is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. In this case, the length and width of each square field are 1/4 mile. So, the area of one square field is:
(1/4 mile) * (1/4 mile) = 1/16 square mile
To find out how many square fields can fit into one square mile, we need to divide the total area of the land (1 square mile) by the area of one square field (1/16 square mile):
1 square mile / (1/16 square mile) = 16 fields
Therefore, the farmer will have 16 square fields on one square mile of land.
