Let x represent the number of pounds of seed needed per acre.

it takes 89 pounds of seed to completely plant a 11-acre field. We would set up the following equations

89 = 11

x = 1

By crossmultiplying, we have

89 * 1 = x * 11

89 = 11x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 11,

x = 89/11

x = 8.09

8.09 pounds of seed are needed per acre
