Scarlett stopped at a campground along the Appalachian trail. The campground had a 1 2 acre area for tents, which was divided into 6 equal campsites. Scarlett picked one of the sections to pitch her tent. What is the size of Scarlett's campsite?

1/12 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area of the campground = 1/2 acres

which was divided into 6 equal campsites

Campsites = 6

Scarlett picked one of the sections to pitch her tent. What is the size of Scarlett's campsite?

Since, the the campground is divided into 6 Equal campsites,

Size of Scarlett's campsite = Total area of the campground / number of campsites

= 1/2 ÷ 6

= 1/2 × 1/6

= 1/12

Size of Scarlett's campsite = 1/12 acres

Each of the 6 campsites = 1/12 acres

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.

step-by-step explanation:

notice that the equation you are given has -2 (negative 2) on the right side, not 2. when you subtract 5 from a number n, you are finding the difference between the number and 5.

the difference between a number and 5 is -2.
