A farmer has 2 and 1/2 acres of land for growing corn and another 3 and 3/4 acres for growing wheat. If the farmer decides to combine the two plots of land for a new crop, how many acres of land will be used in total?

To find the total number of acres of land used for growing corn and wheat, we need to add the area for growing corn to the area for growing wheat: 2 1/2 acres + 3 3/4 acres = 6 1/4 acres.

Therefore, the total area of land used will be 6 1/4 acres.
