Answer 1

To find the planting density, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Planting Density} = \frac{\text{Total Number of Trees}}{\text{Total Area in Acres}}
\]

In this case, John is planting 1,200 trees on a 4-acre plot of land. Plugging in the numbers:

\[
\text{Planting Density} = \frac{1200 \text{ trees}}{4 \text{ acres}} = 300 \text{ trees per acre}
\]

Therefore, the planting density is **300 trees per acre**.
