Answer: 90 sqm

Explanation:

The township's land measurement is 36 square miles. If you want to know the measurement in 2 1/2 townships you need to multiply 2 1/2 times the square miles in a single township.

Step 1: Convert 2 1/2 to an improper fraction.

2 1/2 = 5/2

Step 2: Multiply

5/2 x 36/1 = 180/2 = 90 sqm
