Question

A rancher uses 1400 acres of his property for cattle grazing. If the area of the property is 1600 acres, what percent is used for cattle grazing

Answer 1

Answer: 87.5%

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a rancher uses 1400 acres of his property for cattle grazing amd that the area of the property is 1600 acres. To get the percentage used for cattle grazing, we divide 1400 by 1600 and then multiply the result by 100%. Mathematically, this will be expressed as:

= 1400/1600 × 100

= 0.875 × 100%

= 87.5%

The percent that is used for cattle grazing is 87.5%.
