Answer:
The number of parts on the four plots are 40.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of plots is 4 and each has an area of 12 acres, thus the total area is 36 acres.
Dividing them into a number, n, of parts gives;
[tex]\frac{36}{n}[/tex]
where n is the number of parts.
[tex]\frac{36}{n}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{9}[/tex] of an acre
Thus,
n = (36 × 9) acres ÷ 8 acres
= 324 ÷ 8
= 40.5
Thus it has been divided into 40.5 parts.
