Question

Farmer Jack has 1,800 square feet of garden space to have enough corn for a year his garden space is currently 10 5/6 feet by 18 feet. How much more land dose farmer Jack need to plant the rest of his corn

Answer 1

Answer:

1605 sq. feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Farmer Jack has 1,800 square feet of garden space to have enough corn for a year.

Now, his garden space is currently $10\frac{5}{6}$ feet by 18 feet.

So, Farmer Jack currently has $(10\frac{5}{6} \times 18) = (\frac{65}{6} \times 18) = \frac{1170}{6}$ sq. feet of garden.

Therefore, the land area that is more required to plant the rest of his corn will be $(1800 - \frac{1170}{6}) = \frac{10800 - 1170}{6} = \frac{9630}{6} = 1605$ sq. feet. (Answer)
