Find the area of each site if the area of the first site is 5 times the area of the second, and the area

Find the area of each site if the area of the first site is 5 times the area of the second, and the area of the second is 252 hectares less than the area of the first.

Let us determine the area of the second site if we know that it is 5 times smaller than the area of the first site, which is 252 hectares.

X is the second section;

X + 252 – the first section.

5X = X + 252;

5X – X = 252;

4X = 252;

X = 252/4;

X = 63 ha.

2) Determine the area of the first section.

63 * 5 = 315 ha.

Answer: the first site has an area of 315 hectares, and the second 63 hectares.
