Answer 1

x = 22 days

Explanation:

Let x = the number of days

Acres/Days: (1/2)/4 = (2 3/4)/x Cross Multiply

(1/2)x = (11/4)(4)

(1/2)x = 11

x = 22 days

Answer 2

8 days

Explanation:

time taken to clear one acre = 4 days

therefore, time that will be taken to clear 2 acres = 2*4 days = 8 days
