Question: 1 / 740

How much land is being sold if Owner A sells the northwest quarter of a section he owns?

40 acres

160 acres

If Owner A sells the northwest quarter of a section, he is selling one-fourth of the section. Since there are four quarters in a section, each quarter is 1/4 of the total measurement of the section. Therefore, the northwest quarter is 1/4 of the total land. This means that the land being sold is 1/4 of the total land owned by Owner A. If we divide the total land owned by Owner A (which is unknown) by 4, we would get the answer of 160 acres. Option A (40 acres) is incorrect because it is only 1/16 of the total land owned. Option C (320 acres) and Option D (640 acres) are also incorrect as they are more than 1/4 of the total land. Therefore, the correct answer is B (160 acres).
