Mr. Brown is selling 16 acres of his farm to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith plans to build houses on the land. Each house will be on a 1/3 acre lot. how many lots can Mr. Smith get from Mr. Brown's land?
-
Since each house uses 1/3 acres, 3 houses can be used per acre, and 48 houses can be used per 16 acres.
16 / (1/3) = 16 * 3 = 48 Lots
16 / (1/3) = 16 * 3 = 48 Lots
