Question

A landscape architect is seeding a 4800​-sq ft lawn. If the seed manufacturer recommends using 3 lb of seed per 1200 sq​ ft, how many pounds of seed will be​ needed?

The architect will need ____ ib of seed

Answer 1

12 lb of seed.

Explanation:

We need to determine the amount of seed required for a 4800 sq ft lawn.

First, we need to find out how many 1200 sq ft portions the 4800 sq ft lawn is:

4800 sq ft / 1200 sq ft/portion = 4 portions

Next, we can use the seed manufacturer's recommendation of 3 lb of seed per 1200 sq ft:

3 lb/portion * 4 portions = 12 lb

Therefore, the architect will need 12 lb of seed.
