John is working on a farm, and he is helping to plant trees on a 4-acre plot of land. Per request, they have to plant 1,200 trees. What is the planting density?

Answer 1

To calculate the planting density, you need to divide the total number of trees by the total area in acres.

Given:

• Total number of trees = 1,200
• Total area = 4 acres

The planting density can be calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Planting Density} = \frac{\text{Total number of trees}}{\text{Total area in acres}} = \frac{1,200 \text{ trees}}{4 \text{ acres}} = 300 \text{ trees per acre} \]

Therefore, the planting density is 300 trees per acre.
