acres

Answer 1

553

Explanation:

Answer 2

`553\ acres`

Explanation:

Let

z------> the crop yield

x----> the number of bushels harvested

y----> the number of acres used for the harvest

`z=(x)/(y)`

we have

`x=94,010\ bushels`

`z=170\ bushels/acre`

substitute and solve for y

`170=(94,010)/(y)`

`y=(94,010)/(170)=553\ acres`
