Answer:

500,000

Explanation:

so here's what's up, because it says about we can round 28.6 acres up to about 30. and there is 15,000,000 water every time. its a rather simple question. because all of the water needs to be divided equally, we must divide 15,000,000 by 30. and that makes a total of 500,000. so your answer is 500,000. but be carful because sometimes you must do the opposite.
