The area of one piece of land is 7 times larger than the area of another. find the area of each site

The area of one piece of land is 7 times larger than the area of another. find the area of each site if they both occupy 19.2 hectares.

It is known from the condition that the area of one piece of land is 7 times greater than the area of another. It is also known that both sites occupy 19.2 hectares.

Let’s denote the area of the smaller plot with the variable x ha, then the area of the second plot can be written as 7x ha.

We know that both sites cover an area of 19.2 hectares. Let’s compose and solve a linear equation.

x + 7x = 19.2;

Let’s cast similar ones:

8x = 19.2;

x = 19.2: 8;

x = 2.4 ha area of a smaller plot;

7x = 7 * 2.4 = 16.8 ha larger plot area.
