Question

Write the rate as fraction in simplest form 22 gallons of pest rifles for 8 acres of crops

Answer 1

Since the given rate is 22 gallons of pest for 8 acres of crops, then

We need to find how many acres per gallon

Then we will divide 22 acres by 8 gallons to find the rate

`rate=(22)/(8)`

Divide up and down by 2 to simplify

`\begin{gathered} rate=((22)/(2))/((8)/(2)) \\ \\ rate=(11)/(4) \end{gathered}`

The answer is:

The rate is 11/4 gallon per acre (2 3/4)
