900 acres and subdivided into 2 1/4 acres.

To determine how many 2 1/4-acre lots can be subdivided from 900 acres, we need to divide 900 acres by 2 1/4 acres.

First, convert 2 1/4 acres to an improper fraction:
\[
2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4}
\]

Now divide 900 acres by \( \frac{9}{4} \):
\[
900 \div \frac{9}{4} = 900 \times \frac{4}{9} = \frac{3600}{9} = 400
\]

So, the land can be subdivided into **400 lots** of 2 1/4 acres each.
