Molly uses exactly 112 bags of fertilizer to fertilize 25% of the total number of acres in a field each year. It takes 9 1/3 bags to fertilize 1 acre of the field. What is the total number of acres in the field?
A) 3
B) 12
C) 36
D) 48
PLEASE EXPLAIN HOW YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER
9 1/3 bags is 9,333333333333333... 112 bags / 9,33... = 12 Since Molly fertilizes 25%, we need to multiply 12 acres with 4 12*4 = 48 There are 48 acres in the field
