Question

A farmer plants one section of a rectangular field with corn and the other section with soybeans. The area of each section and the width of the field are shown below. what is the length of the field?

Answer 1

ANSWER

Dear Camile, you may calculate plant to plant

distance within each row in following way:

Desired plant density=32000 per hectare

1 hectare area=100 m length x 100 m width (considering square shaped field)

As row width=0.91 m, Total number of rows=100/0.91=110

Number of plants per row=32000/110=291

So, plant to plant distance in a row=100 m/291=0.34 m
