Kelsey used 1/2 of an acre of land for the flower garden. she divided it into 8 equal parts what was the size of each part?
a) 8/2
b) 1/10
c) 16
d) 1/16
show proof.

D. 1/16

Because Kelsey used already half an acre of land and then DIVIDED it into 8 equal parts then you would use division. You would be dividing 1/2 by 8. One way to do this would find the reciprocal of 8 (which is 1/8) and multiply it by 1/2. You would do 1/2*1/8 which would give you 1/16.

5/8 beds for each square yard
