According to the information provided, how many acres are in the description N 1/2 N 1/2 NW 1/4, W 1/2 E 1/2?

To determine the number of acres represented by the legal description "N 1/2 N 1/2 NW 1/4, W 1/2 E 1/2", it's important to break down the components of this description based on the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) which is commonly used in the U.S. to identify land parcels.

1. The description consists of two parts:

• "N 1/2 N 1/2 NW 1/4" refers to the northern half of the northern half of the northwest quarter of a section.

• "W 1/2 E 1/2" refers to the western half of the eastern half of the section.

2. Each section in the PLSS typically consists of 640 acres.

3. The northwest quarter (NW 1/4) of a section contains:

• 160 acres (since 640 acres / 4 quarters = 160 acres).

4. Taking the northern half of the northwest quarter provides:

• 80 acres (since 160 acres / 2 = 80 acres).

5. The northern half of the northern half of the northwest quarter is still 80 acres.
