You need to divide 65 1/2 by 15.

[tex] 65 \dfrac{1}{2} \div 15 = [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{131}{2} \div \dfrac{15}{1} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{131}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{15} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{131 \times 1}{2 \times 15} [/tex]

[tex] = \dfrac{131}{30} [/tex]

[tex] = 4 \dfrac{11}{30} [/tex]

Each one got [tex] 4 \dfrac{11}{30} [/tex] acres.
