Mr. foster had a farm with 240 acres; he sold 200 acres. what fraction of the farm did he sell?

Mr. Foster sold 5/6 of the farm.

Step-by-step explanation:

He sold 200 acres out of the 240 so we can write the fraction 200/240. And after that we can simplify the fraction. You can divide both numbers by 40. 200 divided by 40 is 5 and 240 divided by 40 is 6. Therefore, you get the fraction 5/6.

75

step-by-step explanation:

you do x-29=46 (the number of cantaloupes sold)

in order to find x, you have to find what minus 29 equals 46, meaning you'd have to add 29 to 46.

29+46=75

if you replace x with 75, the equation looks like:

75-29=46

x=75
