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 9 comma 396 bushels of soybeans, resulting in a crop yield of 40 point 5 bushels per acre. To the nearest whole acre, how many acres were harvested?
Crop yield equals bushels harvested divided by acres, so acres = bushels ÷ yield. Calculate 9,396 ÷ 40.5 = 232 acres. Therefore, the correct choice is 232 acres.
