<PRE><B>Question 26546</B>
Let the smallest region be x
Let the one region be 2x
LEt the third region be 3x-4
Total = 512
x+2x+3x-4=512
6x-4=512
6x=516
x=86


2(86)=172
3(86)-4=254


Hence, the smallest region is 86 acres, the second region is 172 acres and the third region is 254 acres.
