crop yield is the ratio of the number of bushels harvested to the number of acres used for the harvest. this year, the harvest at a farm was 94,010 bushels of grain, resulting in a crop yield of 170 bushels per acre. to the nearest whole acre, how many acres were harvested?\no 453 acres\no 489 acres\no 509 acres\no 553 acres
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall the yield - area formula
Let the number of acres be $x$. The crop - yield formula is $\text{Crop Yield}=\frac{\text{Number of bushels}}{\text{Number of acres}}$. We know that the number of bushels is 94010 and the crop yield is 170 bushels per acre. So, $170=\frac{94010}{x}$.
## Step2: Solve for $x$
Cross - multiply the equation $170=\frac{94010}{x}$ to get $170x = 94010$. Then, $x=\frac{94010}{170}$.
## Step3: Calculate the value of $x$
$x=\frac{94010}{170}=553$.
# Answer:
D. 553 acres
