Question

Mr. Arthur is planning Arthur's Apple Orchard. Each tree is allotted a 16 ft by 20 ft area to

grow. If the orchard has 5 acre"), how many trees could be planted to maximize
production? (1 acre = 43,560 ft)

Answer 1

681 Trees

Explanation:

Given

`Land\ Area = 5\ acre`

`Unit\ Tree = 16ft\ by\ 20ft`

Required

Determine the number of trees

First, we need to calculate the area occupied by each tree

`Area = 16ft\ * 20\ft`

`Area = 320ft^2`

Next, is to determine the number of trees using the following formula

`Number = (Land\ Area)/(Unit\ Tree\ Area)`

`Number = (5 Acre)/(320ft^2)`

Convert Acre to ft²

`Number = (5 * 43560 ft^2)/(320ft^2)`

`Number = (217800 ft^2)/(320ft^2)`

`Number = 680.625`

`Number = 681\ trees\ (Approximated)`
