Answer:

[tex]553\ acres[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

z------> the crop yield

x----> the number of bushels harvested

y----> the number of acres used for the harvest

[tex]z=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

we have

[tex]x=94,010\ bushels[/tex]

[tex]z=170\ bushels/acre[/tex]

substitute and solve for y

[tex]170=\frac{94,010}{y}[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{94,010}{170}=553\ acres[/tex]
