Question

James uses 1/3 of his land for growing durians, 1/4 for bananas, 3/8 for guavas and the remaining 9 hectares for mangoes. What is the total area of his land?

Answer 1

what a lot of similar problems. I''ll do this one, and maybe you can use it to solve the others. If not, show where you get stuck.

1/3 + 1/4 + 3/8 = 8/24 + 6/24 + 9/24 = 23/24

So, only 1/24 is left, meaning that if he started with x hectares,

x/24 = 9
x = 216

Answer 2

How 1/24 left?

Answer 3

I DON'T know you can tell me

Answer 4

Steve how do you get 1/24
Imean do you simplify it or what
I'm very confused

Answer 5

land for growing durians=1/3
land for growing bananas= 1/4
land for growing guavas=3/8
land for growing mangoes= 9hec
fraction of land for growing mangoes =1-(1/3+1/4+3/8)
=1-(8/24+6/24+9/24)
=1-23/24
i will now take lcm
=24/24-23/24
=1/24
to find the total area of land
24*1/24*total land(x)=9hec
1*x=9hec*24
x=216
