Answer 1

1605 sq. feet.

Explanation:

Farmer Jack has 1,800 square feet of garden space to have enough corn for a year.

Now, his garden space is currently
`10(5)/(6)` feet by 18 feet.

So, Farmer Jack currently has
`(10(5)/(6) * 18) = ((65)/(6) * 18) = (1170)/(6)` sq. feet of garden.

Therefore, the land area that is more required to plant the rest of his corn will be
`(1800 - (1170)/(6)) = (10800 - 1170)/(6) = (9630)/(6) = 1605` sq. feet. (Answer)
