Answer 1

In order to find how many pounds of seeds are needed per acre, we just need to divide the 104 pounds of seeds by the 11 acres, so we have the unit rate of pounds of seeds per acre:

`\frac{104\text{ pounds of seeds}}{11\text{ acres}}=9.4545\frac{\text{ pounds of seeds}}{\text{ acre}}`

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the answer is 9.45 pounds of seeds per acre.
