 Mr. Hayes is a farmer. If he wants to produce 438 bushels of oats and he has 6 acres of land, how much will each acre need to yield?

To find out how much each acre needs to yield, we divide the total number of bushels of oats by the number of acres.

\[
\text{Yield per acre} = \frac{438 \text{ bushels}}{6 \text{ acres}}
\]

\[
\text{Yield per acre} = 73 \text{ bushels per acre}
\]

Therefore, each acre needs to yield 73 bushels of oats.

3. If one bushel of oats sells for $5, what would be the total income from 438 bushels?
4. How many acres would be needed to produce 438 bushels if the yield per acre were only 60 bushels?
5. If Mr. Hayes manages to increase the yield per acre to 80 bushels, how many bushels would he produce on 6 acres?

**Tip:** To find a per-unit yield or rate, divide the total quantity by the number of units. This approach is useful for calculating rates like speed, density, or crop yield.
