A GM maize variety yields 8 tonnes per hectare. To produce 2000 tonnes of maize using this variety, how many hectares of land are required?

Step-by-step solution

1. Set up the relation: yield per hectare $\times$ number of hectares = total yield.
2. Substitute the given values: $8\text{ t/ha}\times H=2000\text{ t}$.
3. Solve for $H$: $H=\frac{2000}{8}=250$ hectares.
