Question

If matt has 50 acres of grazing land and each cow requires 2/3 of an acre, how many cattle can his land support?

Answer 1

50/(2/3) = 150*2 = 75

Answer 2

To solve, you first need to find out how many acres each cow requires:

Take amount of acres each cow needs which is 2/3 and divide it by the total number of acres Matt has which is 50

2/3 = .66 then take .66 and divide it by 50 and you will get 75. 75 is the total amount of cows Matts land will hold.
