Determine how many lawns can you mow in one gallon of gasoline if you maintain a rate of ½ gallon of gasoline per ¼ lawn mowed.

Solution:

The given problem can be solved using logical analysis, we know that ½ gallon is equal to ¼ lawn mowed,  hence, if we multiply 2 to ½ to make it  1, therefore, we do the same to ¼.

= (2)(¼)

= 2/4

= ½

Final answer:

½ lawn will be mowed.
