A parcel of land is described as the NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 12. How many acres does this contain? (A section = 640 acres)
A20 acres
B40 acres✓ Correct
C80 acres

Explanation
SW 1/4 of Section 12 = 640 / 4 = 160 acres. NW 1/4 of SW 1/4 = 160 / 4 = 40 acres. Remember: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Multiply or divide as needed to convert between units.. The correct answer is 40 acres.. This is a common calculation on the Ohio real estate exam.
