A40 acres

Explanation
A full section = 640 acres. A 1/4 section (one quarter of a section) = 640 ÷ 4 = 160 acres. Remember: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet. Multiply or divide as needed to convert between units.. The correct answer is 160 acres.. This is a common calculation on the Oregon real estate exam.
