Answer :
Final answer:
The Benton's have 4 acres of their 16/3 acre property available for grazing after accounting for the quarter of land covered by dense forest.
Explanation:
The Benton's have a fenced area that is 16/3 acres.
If one fourth of the land is covered by dense forest, this means that 3/4 of it can be used for other purposes, such as grazing.
To calculate the grazing area, we take the total acres and multiply by the fraction that is not forest.
The calculation is as follows:
(16/3 acres) × (3/4) = (16/3) × (3/4) acres = 4 acres.
Thus, 4 acres of the Benton's fenced area can be used for grazing.
