Answer:
a) 2/5 x 900 = 360 hectares
b) 3/5th
c) 3/5 x 900 = 540
540 - 360 = 180
Farmer Richards needs to bring another 180 hectares under cultivation.
One-fourth (8 minus 4 p) + 2 p = 12
1/4(8-4p) + 2p = 12
Use distributive property by multiplying 1/4 by each term inside parentheses:
2 - p + 2p =12
Combine like terms:
2 + p = 12
Subtract 2 from both sides:
P = 10
P is equal to 10
How to get your answer:
So 1/4(8-4p) + 2p = 12
First you need to distributive by multiplying 1/4 to each term like this:
2 - p + 2p =12
Then you have to combine to terms just as I did below:
2 + p = 12
Then you need to subtract 2 from both sides to get 10 so:
P = 10
