Kelly owns 4 acres of farmland. She grows beets on 1/10 of the land. On how many acres of land does Kelly grow beets?

Question

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

Answer 1

To find out how many acres of land Kelly uses to grow beets, we need to calculate \( \frac{1}{10} \) of her 4 acres.

\[ \text{Acres of land for beets} = 4 \times \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{10} \]

Now we can simplify \( \frac{4}{10} \):

\[ \frac{4}{10} = \frac{2}{5} \]

So, Kelly grows beets on \( \frac{2}{5} \) acres of land.
