The options to be examined for the wrong one isn't presented, and it wasn't obtainable online, So, I'll exhaustively cover all the common possible answers!

5 acres of land. Acres is a unit of measurement that is most pecuilar to land. It is basically expressing the area of the land.

So, if 5 acres of land is to be divided into 13 sections with equal areas.

Each of the 13 land areas will have an area of (5/13) = 0.385 acre

1 acre = 4046.856 m²

5 acres = 20,234.28 m²

Each of the 13 land areas will have an area of (20234.28/13) = 1556.5 m²

1 acre = 43560 ft²

5 acres = 5 × 43560 = 217,800 ft²

Each of the 13 land areas will have an area of (217800/13) = 16,753.85 ft²

1 acre = 0.00156 square miles

5 acres = 5 × 0.00156 = 0.0078 square miles

Each of the 13 land areas will have an area of (0.0078/13) = 0.0006 square miles.

So, basically, whatever units one converts the area to, just divide the value by 13 and one obtains the area of each of the 13 portions of land that makes up the 5 acres.

Hope this Helps!!!
