Please help solve these word problems.dev bought a plot of land with an area of 2/5 km2.he divided the land equally into 8 small plots.what was the total area of 3 of the small plots of land?

each small lot = (1/8)(2/5) km^2 = 1/20 km^2

of 3 of those = .....

To solve this word problem, we need to break it down into steps.

Step 1: Find the area of the small plots
Since the land was divided into 8 small plots, we need to find the area of one small plot.

Given that the area of the entire plot is 2/5 km^2, we can find the area of one small plot by dividing the total area by the number of small plots:
Area of one small plot = (2/5 km^2) / 8 = 1/10 km^2

Step 2: Calculate the total area of 3 small plots
To find the total area of 3 small plots, we need to multiply the area of one small plot by 3:
Total area of 3 small plots = (1/10 km^2) * 3 = 3/10 km^2

Therefore, the total area of 3 small plots of land is 3/10 km^2.
