Answer:

Explanation:

Land area James inherited = 19.5 hectares

The area of the land he inherited is 65% of the total land his father owned.

Let

x = Total land his father owned

Land area James inherited = 65% of the total land his father owned

19.5 = 65% of x

19.5 = 65/100 * x

19.5 = 0.65 * x

19.5 = 0.65x

x = 19.5 / 0.65

x = 30

x = Total land his father owned = 30 hectares
