To find the length of the plot of corn, we need to first find the width and then multiply it by 5.
Given that the width is 4 1/3 yards, we need to convert this mixed number into an improper fraction.
4 1/3 = 4 + 1/3 = 12/3 + 1/3 = 13/3
So, the width of the plot of corn is 13/3 yards.
Since the length is 5 times the width, we multiply the width by 5:
Length = (13/3) * 5
Length = 65/3
Length = 21 2/3 yards
Therefore, the plot of corn is 21 2/3 yards long.
A plot of corn is 4 1/3
yards wide. It is 5 times as long as it is wide. How long is the plot of corn?
