Answer 2

Answer:

Uses 6.125 acres

Second propert is 42.14 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

He buys 24.5 acres and uses 0.25 of the property:

$24.5\cdot{0.25}=6.125$

He uses 6.125 acres of the land.

He buys a second property of 0.72 times bigger than the first property. The second propert has:

$=24.5\cdot{0.72}+24.5=42.14$

The second property is 42,14 acres
