Sticky Note
James uses 1/3 of his land for growing strawberries, 1/4 for cheeses, 3/8 for vegetables and the remaining 9 hectares for oats. What is the total area of his land?
  1. 116 hectares
  2. 316 hectares
  3. 214 hectares
  4. 216 hectares
Explanation

Let the total piece of land that he has be x hectares,

According to question, x/3 hectare land is used for strawberries, x/4 hectare for chesses, 3x/8 hectare for vegetables and 9 hectares for oats,

total land area= x

Therefore,

x = x/3 + x/4 + 3x/8 + 9,

taking x common,

1 = 1/3 + 1/4 + 3/8 + 9/x,

1 – (1/3 + 1/4 + 3/8) = 9/x,

1 – ((8 + 6 + 9)/24) = 9/x,

1 – (23/24) = 9/x,

1/24 = 9/x or x = 216 hectares
