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?

Respuesta :

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.
