Final answer:
To find the total acres of two combined lots each measuring 244' by 250', first calculate the area of one lot in square feet, double it for both lots, then convert to acres. The total area of both lots is approximately 2.8 acres. The correct option is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the approximate total number of acres in the two lots combined, we first calculate the area of one lot in square feet and then convert that area into acres.
Area of one lot = length × width = 244' × 25 = 61,000 square feet.
Since there are two lots: Total area for both lots = 2 × 61,000 = 122,000 square feet.
Next, we convert the total area from square feet to acres. There are 43,560 square feet in one acre:
Total area in acres = Total area in square feet ÷ Square feet per area = 122,000 ÷ 43,560 = 2.8 acres (approximately).
Therefore, the answer is A. 2.8 acres.
