Mrs. Magee's farm covers 14 1/3 acres. She grows corn on 5/8 of her farm. On how many acres of land does Mrs. Magee grow corn?
A) 8 13/24
B) 8 18/24
C) 8 23/24
D) 9 4/24
C. 8 23/24. One way you can solve this is by dividing 14 1/3 by 8, because it is the denominator of 5/8, then multiplying the quotient by 5, because it is the numerator of 5/8. (14 1/3 / 8) x 5 = 8 23/24
