land?​

Answer 1

Given:

The total land owned by Suresh Gajapure is 12644 acres.

He want to divide the property into 2% acre pieces.

To find:

We need to find the number of houses can be built in that area.

Solution:

According to the question, the total land owned by Suresh Gajapure is 12644 acres.

But, he want to divide the property into 2% acre pieces.

So,

$\Rightarrow 12644\times2\%$

$\Rightarrow 12644\times\frac{2}{100}$

Simplifying the terms,

$\Rightarrow \frac{12644\times2}{100}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{25288}{100}$

$\Rightarrow 252.88$ acres

So, 2% of 12644 acres is $252.88$ acres.

Now, we need to find how many houses can be built.

To find that, we need to divide the total acres owned by 2% of the total acres owned.

So,

$\Rightarrow\frac{12644}{252.88}$

$\Rightarrow50$

Therefore, the numbers of houses can be built is 50.
