Answer:
Total area of the 3 plots will be \(\frac{3}{8}\) square kilometers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Devon buys a plot of the land with an area = \(\frac{5}{6}\) square kilometers
He divides this land equally into 4 smaller plots.
Therefore, Area of each plot = \(\frac{\frac{5}{6} }{4}\)
= \(\frac{5}{24}\) square kilometers
Now the area of 3 plots = 3 × area of one plot
= \(3\times \frac{5}{24}\)
= \(\frac{5}{8}\)
Therefore, total area of the smaller 3 plots will be \(\frac{3}{8}\) square kilometers.
