Answer:

21,000 pounds (british currency)

Explanation:

If 3 and 1/2 acres of strawberry fields produce 14,700 pounds of strawberries, and we are asked how many pounds (as in money) of strawberries 5 acres can produce, then we can use proportions to estimate how much money worth of strawberries can be produced.

5 divided by 3 1/2 is around 1.42857142857... If we take this unnecessarily long number and multiply it by 14,700, then we can find out how much money can be made from 5 acres of strawberries. When multiplied, we get 21,000 pounds
