Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Recall yield - area formula

The total number of bushels = crop yield×number of acres.

Step2: Substitute given values

We have crop yield = 7553 bushels per acre and number of acres = 690. So the total number of bushels = 7553×690. 7553×690=(7000 + 500+50 + 3)×690=7000×690+500×690+50×690+3×690 =4830000+345000+34500+2070 =5211570. 5211570≈5.2 million.

Answer:

B. 5.2 million bushels
