How many square feet does the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of the E1/4 of the W1/4 represent?

To solve the question regarding the area represented by the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 of the E1/4 of the W1/4, we need to break down each section of land indicated by the fractional descriptions.

First, let's clarify the total land area represented by the W1/4. If we assume the total section of land to be 640 acres (which is standard in many surveying contexts), each quarter (W1/4) would amount to 160 acres. Breaking this down further:

1. The W1/4 of the total 640 acres is 160 acres.

2. The E1/4 of the W1/4 (which is 160 acres) is 40 acres, because 160 acres divided by 4 is 40 acres.

3. The NE1/4 of the E1/4 (which is 40 acres) is 10 acres, since 40 acres divided by 4 equals 10 acres.

4. Finally, the SW1/4 of the NE1/4 (which is 10 acres) is 2.5 acres, calculated by dividing 10 acres by 4.

Now to convert this area from acres to square feet,
