Question

There are about 48,000 farms in Nebraska using approximately 45 million acres of land . This farmland covers about 9/10( nine tents) of the state. About how mani acres are not made up of farmland

Answer 1

We are given that 9/10 of the state land is about 45 million acres of farm. Therefore about 1/10 of the state land is not made up of farms, therefore:

1/10 = 0.1

9/10 = 0.9

 

0.9 (state land) = 45 million acres

state land = 50 million acres

 

Hence,

not farmland = 0.1 * 50 million acres

not farmland = 5 million acres
