The E 1/2 of the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4 of a section contains:
Correct Answer
C) 20 acres
Why this is correct: A section is 640 acres. NE 1/4 = 160 acres. SW 1/4 of that = 40 acres. E 1/2 of that = 20 acres. Reading right to left: (1/2) × (1/4) × (1/4) × 640 = 20. Why the other choices are wrong: '80 acres' would be E 1/2 of the entire NE 1/4. '40 acres' is the SW 1/4 of the NE 1/4. '10 acres' results from an extra division. Exam tip: For rectangular descriptions, work backwards: start with 640 acres and multiply by each fraction from right to left.
