Paige mows #2 2/3# acres per hour

In #15# minutes, Paige mows #2/3# acre of land

Hence in #1# minute Paige mows #2/3-:15=2/3xx1/15# acre of land

In #1# hout i.e. #60# minutes Paige mows

#2/3xx1/15xx60#

= #2/3xx1/(cancel15^1)xxcancel60^4#

= #(2xx4)/3=8/3=2 2/3# acres of land

Hence, Paige mows #2 2/3# acres per hour
