This would be a question that would involve division. 

We do: (1,600 ÷ 4) and therefore, this would give us [tex]a= 640s[/tex] just as we were looking for, and therefore, B would be your correct answer.
Hello.

He owns 1,600 acres.

Divide 1,600 by 4 and you get 640s. The answer we need.

Hope it helps :)
