A land developer is splitting up 278.95 hectares of land to form 70 identical properties. To the nearest tenth of a hectare, what size will each property be?


To find the size of each property to the nearest tenth of a hectare, we need to divide the total land area by the number of properties.

Given:
- Total land area: \( 278.95 \) hectares
- Number of properties: \( 70 \)

We calculate the size of each property:

\[
\text{Size of each property} = \frac{278.95 \text{ hectares}}{70} \approx 3.9857142857 \text{ hectares}
\]

To the nearest tenth of a hectare, this is:

\[
\text{Size of each property} \approx 4.0 \text{ hectares}
\]

So, each property will be approximately **4.0 hectares** in size.

Here are some related questions:
1. What would be the size of each property if the total land was 300 hectares?
2. If the developer decided to make only 50 properties, what would be the size of each property?
3. How many properties could be made if each was exactly 5 hectares?
4. If each property size was rounded to the nearest hundredth, what would be the new size?
5. What is the percentage difference if the developer forms 75 identical properties instead of 70?

**Tip:** When working with land area measurements, always check whether rounding might affect the total land allocation significantly.

Learn how to calculate the size of each property when 278.95 hectares of land is divided into 70 identical properties. Each property size is determined to the nearest tenth of a hectare, approximately 4.0 hectares.
