Answer:

48 acres

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of turkeys live in Helenville

y ---> the number of acres in Helenville

P ---> the population density of Helenville

we know that

[tex]P=\frac{x}{y}[/tex]

we have

[tex]P=17.5\ turkeys\ per\ acre[/tex]

[tex]x=840\ turkeys[/tex]

substitute

[tex]17.5=\frac{840}{y}[/tex]

solve for y

[tex]y=\frac{840}{17.5}=48\ acres[/tex]
