The width of the rectangular field is 500 m and is 2/3 of the length.

The width of the rectangular field is 500 m and is 2/3 of the length. 4/5 of the field area is occupied by turnips. What is the area of the turnip field?

1) Find the length of the field.

Since we know that the width is 2/3 of the length and it is equal to 500 meters, for this it is necessary to divide 500 m by the indicated part.

Thus, we get:

500/2/3 = 500 * 3/2 = 1500/2 = 750 meters.

2) Determine the area of the field.

We multiply the found length by the width of the field.

1500 * 500 = 750,000 m2

3) Find the area occupied by turnips.

We multiply the entire area of the field by 4/5 of the part.

750,000 * 4/5 = 3,000,000 / 5 = 600,000 m2

Answer: Turnips occupy 600,000 m2 (square meters) of the field.
