1 acre of land requires [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] bags
convert mixed numeral to fraction
[tex]\Rightarrow 5\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{11}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\therefore 1\ \text{acre}\equiv\dfrac{11}{2}\ \text{bags}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{3}{4}\ \text{acre}\equiv \dfrac{11}{2}\times \dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{33}{8}\ \text{bags}[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \dfrac{33}{8}\ \text{bags}=4\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{bags}[/tex]
