A farmer divides 20 acres of land into 1/4- acre sections. Into how many sections does the farmer divide her land?
20 divided by 1/4 is the same as
20 x 4/1 (reciprocal)
20 x 4 =80
80 sections
hope this helps
Answer:
80 sections will be formed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Farmer has a land of 20 acres and she divides her land into 1/4 acre sections.
We have to calculate the area of each section.
Since 1/4 acre = 0.25 acres
Therefore number of sections formed by farmer will be = Total area of the land/area of one section = 20/0.25 = 80
So 80 sections will be formed measuring 0.25 acre.
