If you set up a proportion where acres are on top and time is on the bottom, you'll be able to cross multiply, similar to the picture, giving you the answer of 2.25 acres.

you must find half of three because 2 is half and 3 is how many ackers then 1.5÷1.5=0.75
I might be wrong but I believe that's the answer
