Question

A 32 oz bag of lawn fertilizer covers 500 square feet. how many oz of fertilizer are needed to cover a lawn with an area of 12,500 square feet

Answer 1

800 oz

Explanation:

I would first start by creating an algebraic equation: 500x=32oz

Then I would simplify: x=
`(8)/(125)`

Next, I would multiply that by 12,500: 800oz

This is also equal to: 25 32oz bags
