b. 30 acres and 1,306,800 square feet
c. 30 acres and 2,613,600 square feet
d.80 acres and 3,484,800 square feet correct answersb, This is an
extremely popular math question from chapter 10. Every section has 640
acres so every time you see a question that asks you to determine how
many acres or how many square feet are in any one section, you are always
going to start with 640. Then you will divide 640 by the denominators,
(bottom number of the fraction) to arrive at the number of acres. With these
problems you are looking for the word AND because if you see the word
AND, you will need to start at 640 again because they are asking you about
two separate pieces of property. You will need to add the two pieces
together.
640/2/4/4= 20 acres
640/2/2/4/4= 10 acres
20 + 10 = 30 acres
Once you know this piece of property has 30 acres you can multiply that
by 43,560 which is the number of square feet in one acre.
