Real Estate Math
A parcel of land is described as the W½ of the NE¼ of a section. How many acres does this parcel contain?
A20 acres
B40 acres
C80 acres✓ Correct
D160 acres
Explanation
A full section = 640 acres. NE¼ = 640 ÷ 4 = 160 acres. W½ of the NE¼ = 160 ÷ 2 = 80 acres. Remember: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Multiply or divide as needed to convert between units.. The correct answer is 80 acres.. This is a common calculation on the Alaska real estate exam.
