A farmer has 1 mile*1mile of field he divided into 1/3 how many fields in total he will have
If you mean that he divided it into 1/3 * 1/3 chunks, then there are 9 small fields.
But you just say he divided it into 1/3, which to means that he made 3 small fields.
Once you decide just what you mean, I'm sure you can figure it out. If not, try drawing a diagram!! See what you get!
To determine the number of fields the farmer will have, we first need to find out how many equal parts the field is divided into.
Given that the field is divided into 1/3, it means that each part represents one-third of the entire field.
To find the number of parts, we can divide the total area of the field by the area of each part.
Since the field is 1 mile * 1 mile, its total area is 1 square mile (1 mile^2).
Now, we need to calculate the area of each part. To do this, we multiply the area of the entire field (1 square mile) by 1/3.
Area of each part = 1 square mile * (1/3) = 1/3 square mile.
Finally, to determine the number of fields, we divide the total area of the field (1 square mile) by the area of each part (1/3 square mile).
Number of fields = Total area / Area of each part
= 1 square mile / (1/3 square mile)
= 1 square mile * (3/1 square mile)
= 3 fields.
Therefore, the farmer will have a total of 3 fields when dividing the 1 mile * 1 mile field into 1/3.
