Jeremiah Mathis · Answer 1

Check for me, as I may be incorrect:

So we know a farmer owns 14 acres of land, and it's split into 5 5/6 equally sized sections, so we can divide 14 by 5 5/6 to get our answer:

14 : 5 5/6 = 2 2/5.

There are 2 2/5 or 2.4 acres of land in each section.

I think it would be 14 : 5 5/6 = 2 2/5.
