Answer: [tex]1,124\frac{11}{13}\ minutes[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the time in minutes that will take him to mow the entire park.
You know that he can mow 13 square feet in 1 minute and he has to mow 14,623 square feet.
Then, you can write the following proportion:
[tex]\frac{1}{13}=\frac{x}{14,623}[/tex]
Solving for "x", you get:
[tex]x=\frac{14,623}{13}\ min[/tex]
To write that improper fraction as a mixed number:
- The quotient when you divide the numerator by the denominator of the fraction obtained, is [tex]1,124[/tex] (This will be the whole number).
- The remainder of that division is [tex]11[/tex] (This will be the numerator of the fraction).
- The denominator does not change.
Then:
[tex]x=1,124\frac{11}{13}\ min[/tex]
