Mrs. Magee's farm covers 14 1/3 acres. She grows corn on 5/8 of her farm. On how many acres does Mrs. Magee grow corn?

A. 8 13/24

B. 8 18 / 14

C. 8 23/24

D. 9 4/24

The answer is C. 8 23/24

14 1/3*5/8 = 8 23/24

1+14*3/3*5/8

14*3=42+1=43

43/3*5/8=215/24

215:24=8 23/24

215 divided by 24 is 8 with a remainder of 23 therefore your answer is 8 23/24
