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 9,396 bushels of soybeans, resulting in a crop yield of 40.5 bushels per acre. to the nearest whole acre, how many acres were harvested?

To determine the number of acres harvested, we simply have to divide the bushels of soybean by the crop yield. Mathematically,
                              total land area = bushels of soybean / bushels per acre
Substituting the known values,
                             total land area = 9396 / 40.5 = 232 
Therefore, 232 acres were harvested.
