Question

How many acres are there in the W 1/2 of the S 1/2 of the SW 1/2 of a section of land? 15,50, 80 or 160 Acres????

Answer 1

Answer:

80 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

To resolve the problem, you need to know how many acres are in a section and what fraction of that is the land of the problem.

There are 640 acres in a section.

One half of the one half of the one half is: 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/8

One eighth of a section is:  1/8 * 640 acres = 80 acres.
