Answer:
5 pounds and 8 ounces of seed per one acre.
Explanation:
We have our two values, 44 pounds and 8 acres.
It also says it takes 44 pounds of seed for every 8 acres of farmland.
So to get the value of how much seed per one acre we need, we divide 44 by 8.
Doing so yields us 5.5 pounds, which can be converted to 5 pounds and 8 ounces. (remember 16 ounces is 1 pound)
1) 0.0 + 5.5 = 5.5
2) 5.5 + 5.5 = 11.0
3) 11.0 + 5.5 = 16.5
4) 16.5 + 5.5 = 22.0
5) 22.0 + 5.5 = 27.5
6) 27.5 + 5.5 = 33.0
7) 33.0 + 5.5 = 38.5
8) 38.5 + 5.5 = 44.0
