Giana Campbell · Answer 1

2 3/4 acres is the same as 11/4 acres

To find how much of the land is beans, find how much is already taken up, and the rest is beans.

Farmland-Corn-Potatoes-Wheat=Beans

1 - (1/4) - (1/12) - (5/8) = 1/24

Corn: (1/4) x (11/4) = 11/16 acres

Potatoes: (1/12) x (11/4) = 11/48 acres

Wheat: (5/8) x (11/4) = 55/32 acres or 1 23/32 acres

Beans: (1/24) x (11/4) = 11/96 acres
