Answer:

The farmer can create 18 plots.

Explanation:

You have to understand that the farmer wants equal parts. This means that our answer has to be a whole number.

487/27 = 18.037

Since you can not have 18.037 plots of land, you round down to the nearest whole number.

18 plots can be created.
