Stan owns 4/5
of an acre of land. Of that, 2/3
of the land is fenced. How many acres of land is fenced?
To find out how many acres of land is fenced, we need to multiply the total amount of land Stan owns by the fraction that represents the portion of land that is fenced.
If Stan owns 4/5 of an acre of land, then 2/3 of that land is fenced.
2/3 * 4/5 = (2*4)/(3*5) = 8/15
Therefore, 8/15 of an acre is fenced.
To find out how many acres of land are fenced, we need to multiply the total acreage of Stan's land by the proportion of land that is fenced.
Step 1: Calculate the proportion of land that is fenced.
We know that 2/3 of Stan's land is fenced. So, the proportion of land that is fenced is 2/3.
Step 2: Calculate the total acreage of Stan's land.
Stan owns 4/5 of an acre, so the total acreage of his land is 4/5.
Step 3: Multiply the total acreage by the proportion of land that is fenced.
(4/5) x (2/3) = 8/15
Therefore, 8/15 acres of land are fenced.
To find out how many acres of land is fenced, we need to multiply the total land owned by Stan by the fraction of land that is fenced.
First, let's calculate the total land owned by Stan. Stan owns 4/5 of an acre of land.
Next, let's calculate the fraction of the land that is fenced. The problem states that 2/3 of the land is fenced.
To find the fraction of land that is fenced, we multiply the total land by the fraction that is fenced:
(4/5) * (2/3) = (4*2) / (5*3) = 8/15
Therefore, 8/15 of an acre of land is fenced.
