Final answer:

To find out how much more land Sam has than Jackson, subtract the area of Jackson's land from the area of Sam's land.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much more land Sam has than Jackson, we need to subtract the area of Jackson's land from the area of Sam's land.

Sam has 3/7/8 acres of land, which can be written as 43/8 acres. Jackson has 1 1/7 acres of land, which can be written as 8/7 acres.

Now, we subtract 8/7 acres from 43/8 acres: (43/8) - (8/7) = 329/56 acres.

So Sam has 329/56 acres more land than Jackson.
