Answer:

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Total acre = 2,249

Let

Farmer Anne's land = x

Farmer Cassius = 3x

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

x + 3x + 9x = 2,249

13x = 2,249

x = 173

Farmer Anne's land = x = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 3x

= 3(173)

= 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 3(3x) = 9x

= 9(173)

= 1,557 acres

Therefore,

Farmer Anne's land = 173 acres

Farmer Cassius = 519 acres

Farmer Mel = 1,557 acres
