Colton owns 86 acres of farmland. He grows beets on 1/2 of the land. On how many acres of land does Colton grow beets?

Question

Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

To find out how many acres Colton uses to grow beets, we need to calculate half of the total 86 acres of farmland.

We can set up the calculation as follows:

\[ \frac{1}{2} \times 86 = \frac{86}{2} = 43 \]

Therefore, Colton grows beets on 43 acres of land.
