Question

7 people will equally split 258.2 acres of land. To the nearest tenth of an acre, how much land will each person get

Answer 1

Each person will get 36.9 acres of land.

Explanation:

Given that:

Total land = 258.2 acres

7 people will equally split the land between them, therefore, we will divide the total land by total number of people to calculate the share of each person.

Share of each person =
`(258.2)/(7)`

Share of each person = 36.88 acres

Rounding to the nearest tenth,

Share of each person = 36.9 acres

Hence,

Each person will get 36.9 acres of land.
