Question

Crop yield is the ratio of the number of bushels harvested to the number of acres used for the harvest. This year, the harvest at a farm was 9,396 bushels of soybeans, resulting in a crop yield of 40.5 bushels per acre. To the nearest whole acre, how many acres were harvested?

Answer 1

A is the correct answer on edg

Answer 2

To determine the number of acres harvested, we simply have to divide the bushels of soybean by the crop yield. Mathematically,
total land area = bushels of soybean / bushels per acre
Substituting the known values,
total land area = 9396 / 40.5 = 232
Therefore, 232 acres were harvested.
