6/5 of an acre, or 1 1/5.

Portion of acre planted by farmer =
(4)/(5)

Time required by the farmer to plant the above portion =
(2)/(3)

In
(2)/(3) hours the farmer planted
(4)/(5) acre

So in 1 hour the farmer can plant =
(4)/(5)/ (2)/(3)

=
(4)/(5)* (3)/(2)

=
(12)/(10)

Portion of acre planted by the farmer in 1 hour =
(12)/(10) acre
