Question

It takes 32 pounds of seed to completely plant a 4 -acre field. How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find the number of acres that can be planted per pound of seed.

We know that it takes 32 pounds of seed to plant a 4-acre field. Therefore, the amount of seed needed to plant 1 acre is:

32 pounds / 4 acres = 8 pounds/acre

This means that for every pound of seed, we can plant:

1 acre / 8 pounds = 0.125 acres/pound

Therefore, we can plant 0.125 acres per pound of seed.
