Answer:
He have 0.96 acres of early corn.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Toms garden is 8 acres. Two fifths is corn.
Of that, three tenths is early corn and one tenth is late corn.
Now, to find the acres of early corn.
Total garden = 8 acres.
Total Corn in garden = [tex]\frac{2}{5}\ of\ 8=\frac{2}{5} \times 8=\frac{16}{5}[/tex] acres.
As, given of the total corn in garden, three tenths is early corn.
Now, to get the early corn he have:
= [tex]\frac{3}{10} of \frac{16}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3}{10} \times \frac{16}{5}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{48}{50}[/tex]
= [tex]0.96\ acres.[/tex]
Therefore, he have 0.96 acres of early corn.
