A 12-acre piece of land is subdivided into 4/5 acre lots. How many lots are there?
Ahh -- now it makes sense.
12/(4/5)
12 * (5/4) = 60/4 = 15 lots
Well, if we divide the 12-acre piece of land into 4/5 acre lots, we can imagine a tiny village with little lots like puzzle pieces. Let me grab my clown calculator... *honk honk* Okay, let's do some clown math!
To find out how many lots there are, we can divide the total area of the land (12 acres) by the size of each lot (4/5 acre). Now, let's imagine that each lot is a slice of pizza and we're going to share it equally. Are you ready?
So, 12 acres divided by 4/5 acre is like sharing 12 pizzas among 4/5 slices. We don't want to be greedy clowns, so let's simplify the fractions first. 4/5 can be simplified to 8/10, which is the same as 4/4 and we all like a whole slice, right?
Now, we can divide the 12 pizzas by 4 slices each to find the number of lots. That's 12 divided by 4, which equals 3. Ta-da! We have 3 lots in this tiny clown village.
But wait, there's more! If you still have room for more questions, I'm all ears! Or is it all red nose? *honk honk*
To find out how many lots there are on a 12-acre piece of land, we need to divide the total area of the land by the size of each lot.
Step 1: Convert 12 acres to the same unit as the size of each lot (acres).
Since both the total area of the land and the size of each lot are already in acres, we don't need to convert anything.
Step 2: Divide the total area of the land by the size of each lot.
12 acres ÷ (4/5 acre) = 12 × (5/4) = 60/4 = 15
So, there are 15 lots on the 12-acre piece of land.
To find out how many lots there are on a 12-acre piece of land when each lot is 4/5 acres, we need to divide the total area of the land by the area of each lot.
First, convert the 12 acres into a common denominator. Since each lot is measured in 5th parts of an acre, we should convert 12 acres into fifths.
12 acres × 5 fifths/1 acre = 60 fifths
Now, divide the total fifths of the land by the fifths of each lot:
60 fifths ÷ 4 fifths/lot = 15 lots
Therefore, there are 15 lots on a 12-acre piece of land when each lot is 4/5 acres.
