Answer 1

To find out how many acres of land are used for corn, we first need to calculate the percentage of land used for corn from the given circle graph.

From the circle graph, we can see that the percentage of land used for corn is 25%.

Now, we can calculate the number of acres used for corn by taking 25% of the total land area which is 48 acres:

25% of 48 = (25/100) * 48 = 0.25 * 48 = 12 acres

Therefore, 12 acres of land are used for corn.
