Question

crop yield is the ratio of the number of bushels harvested to the number of acres used for the harvest. this year, a large farm harvested rice from 690 acres of farmland. the crop yield was 7,553 bushels per acre. approximately how many bushels of rice were harvested? 0.1 million bushels 5.2 million bushels 8.2 million bushels 10.9 million bushels

Explanation:

Step1: Define yield formula

Crop yield = $\frac{\text{Total bushels}}{\text{Acres}}$, so rearrange to find total bushels: $\text{Total bushels} = \text{Crop yield} \times \text{Acres}$

Step2: Plug in given values

$\text{Total bushels} = 7553 \times 690$

Step3: Calculate the product

$7553 \times 690 = 5,211,570$

Step4: Convert to millions

$\frac{5,211,570}{1,000,000} \approx 5.2$

Answer:

5.2 million bushels
