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 94,010 bushels of grain, resulting in a crop yield of 170 bushels per acre. to the nearest whole acre, how many acres were harvested? \bigcirc 453 acres \bigcirc 489 acres \bigcirc 509 acres \bigcirc 553 acres

Explanation:

Step1: Define yield formula

Crop yield = $\frac{\text{Total bushels}}{\text{Number of acres}}$

Step2: Rearrange for acres

Number of acres = $\frac{\text{Total bushels}}{\text{Crop yield}}$

Step3: Substitute given values

Number of acres = $\frac{94010}{170}$

Step4: Calculate and round

$\frac{94010}{170} \approx 553$

Answer:

D. 553 acres
