You have to plant 20,000 seeds, and the planting density is 4,000 seeds per acre. Which of the following correctly calculates the area of the land where you are planting?

1 answer

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

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

Plugging in the numbers:

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

Therefore, you will need 5 acres of land to plant 20,000 seeds at a density of 4,000 seeds per acre.
