To find out how much land each person will get, divide the total amount of land by the number of people.
\[
\text{Land per person} = \frac{992 \text{ acres}}{6}
\]
Now, calculating the division:
\[
\frac{992}{6} = 165.3333\ldots
\]
To round this value to the nearest tenth, we look at the first digit after the decimal point, which is 3.
Since 3 is less than 5, we round down. Thus, we only keep the first decimal place.
Therefore, each person gets approximately:
\[
165.3 \text{ acres}
\]
So, the final answer is:
\[
\boxed{165.3}
\]
