D. 625

Answer :

Final answer:

The total acreage of the property as described in the legal description is 23.33 acres. This is obtained by calculating the acreage of the individual segments and adding them together.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, you first need to know that one section has 640 acres. First, let's take the SE 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of the SW 1/4. Here you have three fractions: 1/4, 1/4, and 1/4. Multiply these together (1/4 * 1/4 * 1/4) equals 1/64. Multiplying 1/64 * 640 acres = 10 acres.

Now, consider the N 1/3 of the SE 1/4 of the NE 1/4. Here you have three fractions: 1/4, 1/4, and 1/3. Multiply these together (1/3 * 1/4 * 1/4) = 1/48. Multiplying 1/48 * 640 acres = 13.33 acres

Adding these together: 10 acres + 13.33 acres = 23.33 acres
