joe cut three acres of grass at the smith farm which is 15% of the property. how many acres are on the smith farm? f. 15 acres, g. 20 acres, h. 30 acres, j. 45 acres
15x3 45 acres?
0.15x = 3
x = 3/0.15
x = 20 acres
There are 16 boys and 12 girls in Spanish club. If the ratio of boys to girls did not change, how many girls joined the Spanish Club?
boys 16+4 =20? 20/12 4/4 =5/3
3 girls joined the club or
boys 16/12 4/4 = 4/3 3 girls did joined the club

To find out how many acres are on the Smith farm, we need to determine the total number of acres that corresponds to 15% of the property.
We can set up a proportion to solve this:
(15% is to x acres) as (100% is to total acres)
Let x represent the total number of acres on the Smith farm. Then, the proportion becomes:
15% / x = 100% / total acres
To simplify, we can convert 15% and 100% to their decimal forms:
0.15 / x = 1 / total acres
Next, we can cross multiply:
0.15 x total acres = 1 x x
0.15 x total acres = x
Now, we can solve the equation:
0.15 x = x
Subtracting x from both sides:
0.15 x - x = 0
-0.85 x = 0
Dividing by -0.85:
x = 0 / -0.85
x = 0
This implies that x (the total number of acres on the Smith farm) is equal to zero, which doesn't seem accurate. It's possible that there's an error in the given information or the calculation.
Therefore, the correct answer cannot be determined with the given information.
