Answer:

12/15 acres of land

Step-by-step explanation:

Total measure of land = 2 2/5acres

Total brothers = 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = Total measure of land/Total brother

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = (2 2/5)/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 2 2/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 ÷ 3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/5 * 1/3

Amount of acres each brothers will receive = 12/15

Hence each brother will receive 12/15 acres of land
