Answer: 1.38g

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of planting area = 100m

Field size = 6-hectares(14.425 acres)

Weight of 1000 black eye seed = 230g

1 lb = 453.4g

1 black eye seed = 230g/1000 = 0.23g = 0.00023kg

1 hectare = 10,000sq metre

6 hectare = 60,000sq metre

(Weight/Area) kg/m2

0.00023kg / 10,000 = 2.3×10^-8kg/m^2

And field size = 6hectares = 60,000m^2

(2.3×10^-8) × 60,000 = 0.00138kg of black eye seed

0.00138kg × 1000 = 1.38g
