It takes 

56

 pounds of seed to completely plant a 

9

-acre field.
How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?

To find how many acres can be planted per pound of seed, we need to divide the number of acres by the number of pounds of seed:

\[
\text{Acres per pound} = \frac{9 \text{ acres}}{56 \text{ pounds}}
\]

Now, perform the division:

\[
\text{Acres per pound} = \frac{9}{56} \approx 0.1607 \text{ acres per pound}
\]

So, approximately **0.1607 acres** can be planted per pound of seed.
