Answer 1

To calculate the area of the land where you are planting, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Total Seeds}}{\text{Seeds per Acre}}
\]

Given:
- Total Seeds = 20,000 seeds
- Seeds per Acre = 4,000 seeds/acre

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Area} = \frac{20,000 \text{ seeds}}{4,000 \text{ seeds/acre}} = 5 \text{ acres}
\]

Therefore, the correct response is **5 acres**.
