Answer 2

Answer:

7/6 (1 1/6)acres

Step-by-step explanation:

The grassy section covers 2 1/3 acres overall. To find half of that, we divide it by two because half of an amount or object is one of the two equal parts that together make up the whole amount or object.

To turn a mixed number (in this case, 2 1/3) into an improper fraction, multiply the whole number with the denominator of the proper fraction.

• 2*3 = 6

Add the numerator to this product to obtain the numerator of the improper fraction.

6 + 1 = 7

so the improper fraction is 7/3

then we multiply that fraction by 1/2 because we are trying to find half of the overall section

7/3 * 1/2 = 7/6
