Frank owns 300 acres of land. If he divides the land into 1/2 acre plots, how many plots will he have?
300/0.5 = 600
600 is right
To find the number of plots Frank will have, we can divide the total land area by the area of each plot.
Given that Frank owns 300 acres of land and he wants to divide it into 1/2 acre plots, we can set up the following equation:
Number of plots = Total land area / Area of each plot
Area of each plot = 1/2 acre
Let's substitute the values into the equation:
Number of plots = 300 acres / (1/2 acre)
To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal. So, we can rewrite the equation as:
Number of plots = 300 acres * (2 acre/1)
Simplifying the equation, we get:
Number of plots = 300 * 2
Number of plots = 600
Therefore, Frank will have 600 plots if he divides his 300 acres of land into 1/2 acre plots.
