A crew clears brush from 1/3 acre of land in 2 days. How long will it take the same crew to clear the entire plot of 2 1/ 2 acres?

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Time taken to clear 1/3 acre = 2 days

This means that, they will be able to clear ;

1/3 ÷ 2 = 1/3 * 2 /1 = 1/6 acre in one day

1/6 acres per day :

Hence, the number of days it will take to clear 2 1/2 acres will be :

2 1/2 acres ÷ 1/6

5 / 2 ÷ 1/ 6

5/2 * 6 /1 = (5*6) / (2*1) = 30/2 = 15

Hence, it will take 15 days to clear 2 1/2 acres
