A section of land measuring 2 2/5 acres
[tex]\text{Total section of land=2}\frac{2}{5}[/tex]Simplify the mixed fraction:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\times5+2}{5} \\ 2\frac{2}{5}=\frac{12}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]Total section of land = 12/5 acres
The area is divided into three parts equally so,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Area that each person will get =}\frac{\frac{12}{5}}{3} \\ \text{Area that each person will get}=\frac{12}{5}\times\frac{1}{3} \\ \text{Area that each person will get}=\frac{4}{5}\text{ acres} \end{gathered}[/tex]Each person will get 4/5 acres
Answer: 4/5 acres
