To find out how many acres of each type of wheat the farmer planted, we need to divide the total area of land planted (3/5 of an acre) by the number of types of wheat (2).
\[
\text{Amount of each type of wheat} = \frac{\text{Total area}}{\text{Number of types}} = \frac{3/5}{2}
\]
To divide by 2, we can multiply by the reciprocal of 2 (which is 1/2):
\[
\frac{3/5}{2} = \frac{3}{5} \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3 \times 1}{5 \times 2} = \frac{3}{10}
\]
Therefore, the farmer planted \(\frac{3}{10}\) of an acre of each type of wheat.
