A farmer owns 24 acres of land. He plans to use 6 acres for an entrance into the farm and partition the remaining land into 1/3 acre lot. How many 1/3 arce lot will he have?

54

Step-by-step explanation:

The remaining portion to be divided into 1/3 acre lots is the difference between the number of acres owned by the farmer and the number of arces used for the entrance. This difference is

= 24 arces - 6 arces

= 18 acres

These acres is to be divided into 1/3 arce then the number of 1/3 arce loits that will be available

= 18 : 1/3

= 18 * 3/1

= 54

6 acre lots 24-6 = 18. 18 divided by 3 equals 6
