Question 1012429
Nathan's lawnmower uses 2/3 of a tank of gas to cut three one-acre lawns.How many one-acre lawns can he cut with a full tank of gas?plz explain 
-----
Use a proportion::
# of 1-acre lots/gas = # of 1-acre lots/gas
--------------------
AL/1 = 3/(2/3)
----
AL = 3/(2/3) = 9/2 = 4.5 (# of 1-acre lots cut with 1 full tank)
