You can put this solution on YOUR website!
12.5 + 7.75 = 20.25 acres planted in 2 months.
\n" ); document.write( "If $\"1%2F3\"$ acre was destroyed, then 20.25 - .33 = 19.92 acres remaining.
\n" ); document.write( "Or did you perhaps mean that $\"1%2F3\"$ *of* the acres was destroyed?
\n" ); document.write( "In that case $\"1%2F3\"$ * $\"81%2F4\"$ = 6 $\"3%2F4\"$ acres destroyed, leaving 13 $\"1%2F2\"$ acres remaining untouched by fire. \n" ); document.write( "
