Answer:


183.63 square feet area is covered by seeds per pound

Explanation:

Given


41(1)/(4) pound bag of seed cover an area of
7575 square feet


(165)/(4) pound bag of seed cover an area of
7575 square feet

Or


7575 square feet area is covered by
(165)/(4) pound bag of seed

Area in square feet covered by one pound bag of seed


= (7575)/((165)/(4) ) \\= (7575 * 4)/(165) \\= 183.63 square feet
