Answer:
[tex] \frac{25}{3} hectares \: of \: land \: will \: be \: used \: for \: home \: lots[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- 2/7 of the 11 2/3 hectares of land for a subdivision will be used for roads
- the rest will be subdivided into home lots
Operations:
- Multiplication and Subtraction
Number sentence:
[tex]n = \frac{35}{3} - ( \frac{35}{3} \times \frac{2}{7} )[/tex]
where n is the hectares used for home lots
Solution:
[tex]n = \frac{35}{3} - ( \frac{35}{3} \times \frac{2}{7} ) \\ n = \frac{35}{3} - (\frac{5}{3} \times \frac{2}{1} ) \\ n = \frac{35}{3} - \frac{10}{3} \\ n = \frac{25}{3} [/tex]
Answer:
[tex]therefore \: \frac{25}{3} \: hectares \: of \: land \: will \: be \: used \: for \: home \: lots[/tex]
