0.25 is the same as 1/4 so we have to find what is 1/4 of 24.5. To find this we need to divide 24.5 by 4. 24.5 ÷ 4 = 6.125
The final answer is: The builder will use 6.125 acres for the park.

Answer:

6.125 acres.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a builder buys 24.5 acres of land to develop a new community of homes and parks. The builder plans to use 0.25 of the land for a park.

To find the number of acres used for park, we will multiply total land by 0.25

$\text{Acres used for park}=24.5*0.25$

$\text{Acres used for park}=6.125$

Therefore, the builder will use 6.125 acres of land for the park.
