1/4 section of land contains how many acres?

1. 40

2. 80

3. 160

4. 640

The correct answer is: 160

A 1/4 section of land contains 160 acres. This is because a full section of land contains 640 acres, and 1/4 of 640 is 160. Therefore, the correct answer is 160 acres. Option A (40 acres) is incorrect because 1/4 of a section of land is larger than 40 acres. Option B (80 acres) is incorrect because 1/4 of a section of land is larger than 80 acres. Option D (640 acres) is incorrect because a full section of land contains 640 acres, and 1/4 of a section of land is smaller than the full section, so it cannot be 640 acres.
