Answer:

Explanation:

The professional soccer player buys 16 acres of land.

He wants to use
(2)/(8) of the land to put his own soccer field and facility on.

All we have to do is find
(2)/(8) of 16 acres.


(2)/(8) of 16 acres:


(2)/(8) * 16 = 4 acres

He will need 4 acres out of the 16 acres for his soccer field and facility.
