1 section is 640 acres.

(1/8)·(1/2)·(1/8)·(640 acres) = 5 acres


_____

The property description actually seems a bit bogus. While 1/128 of 1 section is 5 acres, it is not clear exactly which 1/128 of the section is being specified. This appears to be a math problem, rather than a surveying problem.


Usually quarter-sections are further divided into quarters. Any half piece will be specified according to a cardinal direciton (N, E, S, W), and any quarter piece will be specified using two cardinal directions (NE, SE, SW, NW). An eighth piece would need three directions for its specification, but would typically be described in terms of a half of a quarter (N half of NE quarter, for example), rather than one-eighth.

Partition a number line from 0 to 1 into sixth decompose 2/6 into 4 equal lengths.
Anon25 [30]
When we partition a number line from 0 to 1 into six, each segment has a length of 1/6 and the segments are:
1/6. 2/6. 3/6, 4/6, 5/6 , 6/6

Breaking 2/6 into 4 equal parts, we get each part equal to 1/12

A machine shop produces heavy duty high endurance 20-inch rods that are meant for use in a variety of military grade equipment.
QveST [7]

Answer:

The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A machine shop produces heavy duty high endurance 20-inch rods

On occasion, the machine malfunctions and produces a groove or a chisel cut mark somewhere on the rod.

If such defective rods can be cut so that there is at least 15 consecutive inches without a groove.

Then; The defective rod can be salvaged if the groove lies on the rod between 0 and 5 inches i.e ( 20  - 15 )inches

Now:

P(X ≤ 5) = \dfrac{5}{20}

= 0.25

P(X ≥ 15) = \dfrac{5}{20}

= 0.25

The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = P(X ≤ 5) + P(X ≥ 15)

= 0.25+0.25

 = 0.50

∴ The probability that a defective rod can be salvaged = 0.50
