To find the square miles in each garden, we need to divide the total area of the field by the number of family gardens.
Total area of the field: 3.9 mi^2
Number of family gardens: 1.3 × 10^3
Dividing the total area by the number of gardens gives us:
3.9 mi^2 / (1.3 × 10^3) = (3.9 / 1.3) × 10^3
Simplifying the division gives us:
3/1 × 10^3 = 3 × 10^3
Therefore, each family garden will have an area of 3 × 10^3 square miles.
A field of 3.9 mi^2 is being subdivided into 1.3 × 10^3 family gardens. How many square miles will there be in each garden?
