Given:
Tom needs to plow 1.1 acres of land.
He can plow 5.5 acres in an hour.
To find:
The time taken by Tom to plow 1.1 acres of land.
Solution:
We have,
Time take by Tom to plow 5.5 acres = 1 hour
Time take by Tom to plow 1 acre = [tex]\dfrac{1}{5.5}[/tex] hour
Time take by Tom to plow 1.1 acres = [tex]\dfrac{1.1}{5.5}[/tex] hour
= [tex]0.2[/tex] hour
Therefore, the time taken by Tom to plow 1.1 acres of land is 0.2 hour.
