Answer:

The land which are used for exhibits are 89 acres (approximately).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Village is spread across 240 acres of land. 37%  of land is used for the exhibits.

Now, we have to find acres of land which are used for exhibits.

So, here it is given that land used for exhibits is 37%, and we have to calculate the quantity from the percentage given:

According to question:

37% of 240 acres of land.

$\frac{37}{100}\times 240$
