Given:
20 acres
Divided into ¼ acre section.
Determine how many sections does the farmer divide her land.
Solution:
In order to determine how many sections were divided, we simply take ¼ of 20 acres, by multiplying 20 with ¼. It is the same as dividing 20 by 4.
= 20 /4
= 5 sections
Final answer:
The farmer divided her land into 5 sections.
