Answer:

Explanation:

A: 0.17 acres per pound of seed

Divide the acres by the amount of seed to find out the area that each pound of seed could plant:

4 acres / 24lbs = 1/6 = 0.1666... ≈ 0.17 acres per lb

B: 1.7 pages per minute

Divide the amount of pages by the number of minutes to find the number of pages it prints per minute:

12 pages / 7 minutes = 12/7 = 1.7142... ≈ 1.7 pages per minute
