Question

John has three parts that he mows each Park measures 2 and 1/2 miles by 2 3/4 miles how many square miles does he know in all

Answer 1

We will determine the number of square miles he mows as follows:

$A=(2\frac{1}{2})(2\frac{3}{4})\Rightarrow A=(\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{2})(\frac{8}{4}+\frac{3}{4})$$\Rightarrow A=(\frac{5}{2})(\frac{11}{4})\Rightarrow A=\frac{55}{8}\Rightarrow A=6\frac{7}{8}\Rightarrow A=6.875$

So, he mows 55/8 square miles for each park.
