Answer: 54

Step-by-step explanation:The remaining portion to be divided into 1/3 acre lots is the difference between the number of acres owned by the farmer and the number of arces used for the entrance. This difference is

= 24 arces - 6 arces

= 18 acres

These acres is to be divided into 1/3 arce then the number of 1/3 arce loits that will be available

= 18 ÷ 1/3

= 18 × 3/1

= 54
