Answer:

Square lot and 187500

Step-by-step explanation:

To find question number A, we can calculate the area of each lot. The square plot is:

2/5×2/5=4/25

The first one is

2/3×3/8=1/4

Then we can make both have the same denominator:

1/4=25/100, 4/25=16/100

That means that the square lot is bigger.

We know that the area is 1/4 square mile. So it's 1/4 of 750,000

That's

1/4×750000=187500

Hope that helps! :)
