Answer 1

To calculate the area of land needed for planting 20,000 seeds at a density of 4,000 seeds per acre, you can use the following formula:

$$\text{Area}=\frac{\text{Total seeds}}{\text{Seeds per acre}}$$

Substituting the given numbers:

$$\text{Area}=\frac{20,000\text{ seeds}}{4,000\text{ seeds per acre}}=5\text{ acres}$$

Therefore, the correct answer is 5 acres.
