Option C (80 acres) is the appropriate answer. A further solution is provided in the below segment.
Given:
The acres in a section of land,
- W = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
- S = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
- SW = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
By multiplying the denominators of the given values, we get
= [tex]2\times 2\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]8[/tex]
As we know that each one square mile Section contains 640 acres. So that by dividing the value by 8, we get
= [tex]\frac{640}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]80[/tex]
Thus "80 acres" is the right solution.
