A farmer owns two rectangular fields. The length of the larger field is twice the length of the smaller field, and the width of the larger field is four times the width of the smaller field. If the smaller field has an area of 1 acre, what is the area of the larger field?
---
Area of smaller field = LW
------
Area of larger field = (2L)(4W) = 8LW
----
Area of larger field = 8(LW) = 8(1) = 8 acres
