Last year, 31 2 acres of strawberry fields produced approximately 14,700 pounds of strawberries. This year the number of acres planted with strawberries increased to 5 acres. Use proportional reasoning to estimate the farm's income from the sale of strawberries this year.

So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Last year, acres i.e 3.5 acres produced 14,700 pounds of strawberries. So we need to determine how many strawberries were produced per acre.

To do this we divide the total number of strawberries produced by the number of acres it was produced in.

The number of strawberries produced per acre pounds.

Step 2:

To determine the number of strawberries in 5 acres of land, we multiply the number of strawberries per acre by the number of acres.

The number of strawberries produced in 5 acres pounds.

So in 5 acres of land produces 21,000 pounds of strawberries.
