Answer:

2 1/5 acres

Explanation:

I'm guessing you want to find the area of an equally sized section. If so, you can divide the total of 8 4/5 by 4.

Convert to an improper fraction. 8*5 = 40+4= 44/5

Dividing is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal.

44/5 * 1/4 = 44/20

or 2 4/20 -> 2 1/5 acres
