Answer 1

To find the area of land needed to plant 20,000 seeds at a density of 4,000 seeds per acre, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Area (in acres)} = \frac{\text{Total seeds}}{\text{Seeds per acre}} \]

Substituting in the numbers:

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

Therefore, the correct response is:

5 acres.
