Question 178594
Mike and Shannon harvested 110,793 pounds of winter wheat off of the Stone Ranch. There are sixty pounds in a bushel. They planted 23.3 acres of winter wheat. How many bushels per acre did the crop yield?
:
so in order to figure the amount of bushels we must divide the number of pounds 110793 by the  how many pounds it takes to make a bushel which is 60
:
{{{110793 (lb)*(1/60) (bushel/lb)=1846.55 (bushels)}}}
:
now to find how many bushels per acre.......we have the number of bushels and the number of acres. We just divide amount of bushels,1846.55 by the number of aclres planted, 23.3
:
{{{1846.55 (bushels)*(1/23.3) (1/ac)=79.25 (bushels/ac)}}}
