Answer 1

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

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

Substituting in the values:

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

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