A forester planted 5/12 of an acre of seedlings in the morning, and then 1/2 an acre in the afternoon. The next day deer ate 2/3 of an acre of these seedlings. What fraction of an acre of seedlings remained? Answer by checkley79(3341) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 5/12+1/2
(5+6*1)/12
11/12 acre total plated.
11/12-2/3
(11-2*4)/12
(11-8)/12
3/12=1/4 acre remains.
