To determine how many wheat seeds are in a 50-pound bag, we first need to know the number of seeds per pound. In this case, there are 13,500 seeds per pound.
To find the total number of seeds in a 50-pound bag, we can multiply the number of seeds per pound by the number of pounds in the bag. So, 13,500 seeds per pound multiplied by 50 pounds gives us a total of 675,000 seeds in a 50-pound bag.
Now, let’s move on to calculating how many bags are needed to plant one acre of land.
First, we need to determine the total area of one acre in square feet. One acre is equal to 43,560 square feet.
Next, we need to determine how many seeds we want to plant per square foot. In this case, we want to plant 26 seeds per square foot.
To calculate the total number of seeds needed for one acre of land, we can multiply the number of seeds per square foot by the total number of square feet in one acre. So, 26 seeds per square foot multiplied by 43,560 square feet gives us a total of 1,131,360 seeds needed for one acre.
Given that there are 675,000 seeds in a 50-pound bag, we can divide the total number of seeds needed for one acre by the number of seeds in a bag to determine how many bags are needed.
So, 1,131,360 seeds needed for one acre divided by 675,000 seeds per 50-pound bag gives us approximately 1.68 bags.
Therefore, to plant one acre of land with 26 seeds per square foot using 50-pound bags of wheat seeds, you would need approximately 2 bags.
