A farmer plants 0.4 of a field with a wheat. The field is 3.45 acres in size. How many acres are planted with wheat ?
A ( 0.126)
B ( 0.138)
C ( 1.26)
D ( 1.38 )
I think I should multiply
0.4 times 3.45 = 1.38
Yes, you are right.
To find how many acres are planted with wheat, we need to multiply the size of the field by the fraction of the field that is planted with wheat.
First, we calculate the number of acres planted with wheat by multiplying the field size by the fraction:
0.4 * 3.45 acres = 1.38 acres
Therefore, the answer is D (1.38).
