Kathleen owns 1/8 of an acre of farmland. She grows beats on 3/4 of the land on how many acres of land does Kathleen grow beats

To find out how many acres of land Kathleen grows beets on, we need to calculate \( \frac{3}{4} \) of the \( \frac{1}{8} \) acre of farmland she owns.

This is done by multiplying the two fractions:

\[
\frac{3}{4} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{3 \times 1}{4 \times 8} = \frac{3}{32}
\]

So, Kathleen grows beets on \( \frac{3}{32} \) of an acre.

Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:
1. If Kathleen decided to use all of her farmland to grow beets, how much more land would she need to cultivate?
2. What fraction of the land remains unused for growing beets?
3. If she wants to divide the beet-growing area into smaller plots, how many \( \frac{1}{64} \) acre plots can she create?
4. If another crop takes up \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the remaining land, how much land is that in acres?
5. If she increases her land by \( \frac{1}{4} \) of an acre, how much land in total will she own?

**Tip:** Multiplying fractions involves multiplying the numerators and denominators separately.

Kathleen owns 1/8 of an acre of farmland. She grows beets on 3/4 of the land. On how many acres of land does Kathleen grow beets?

Learn how to calculate the acreage of farmland used by Kathleen for growing beets by multiplying fractions. Kathleen owns 1/8 of an acre and uses 3/4 of it for beets, resulting in 3/32 of an acre. This detailed solution is perfect for students in Grades 5-7.
