A fraction is a way to describe a part of a whole. such as the fraction ¼ can be described as 0.25.
Given that the farmer can harvest 2/5 acre of the land in 1/3 hours, therefore, the area in which the farmer can harvest crops in 1 hour will be thrice 2/5.
[tex]\rm Rate\ of\ harvesting = \dfrac{\text{Total land harvested}}{\text{Total time taken by the farmer}}\\\\\\\rm Rate\ of\ harvesting = \dfrac{\frac25}{\frac13} = \dfrac{2 \times 3}{1 \times 5}\\\\\\\rm Rate\ of\ harvesting = \dfrac{6}{5}\ Acres/hour = 1.2 \ Acres/hour[/tex]
Hence, the rate at which the farmer is harvesting his crop is 1.2 Acres/hour.
