How much land does Mr. Ruther have left? ** Mr. Ruther is left with 1 - 3/5 = 2/5 of his land.
How much land does Mr. Ruther have left? ** Since 2/5 is equal to 12.8 hectares, then 1/5 is equal to 12.8/2 = <<12.8/2=6.4>>6.4 hectares.
How much land did Mr. Ruther have at first? ** Hence, Mr. Ruther had 6.4 x 5 = <<6.4*5=32>>32 hectares of land at first.
