Answer 2

Answer:

a) The total area donated by the businessman = 315hectares.

b) The number of hectares given to each family = 1.53hectares

c) The number of hectares owned by the businessman = 364.5 hectares initially

d)The number of hectares the businessman gave to his son = 50 hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total land owned by the businessman = 364.5hectares

The land was given to his son = 50 hectares.

The remaining land is divided among 205 poor families

To find,

The hectares of land each family will receive

Solution:

The total land left with the businessman after giving to his son = Total land he had - The land given to his son

= 364.5 - 50

= 315 hectares.

Hence the total land donated by the businessman = 315hectares

Since he donated the land to 205 families, the total land each family will receive = $\frac{315}{205}$

= 1.53hectares

The hectares of land each family will receive = 1.53hectares.

a) The total area donated by the businessman = 315hectares.

b) The number of hectares given to each family = 1.53hectares

c) The number of hectares owned by the businessman = 364.5 hectares initially

d)The number of hectares the businessman gave to his son = 50 hectares
