Question

It takes 58 pounds of seed to completely plant a 6-acre field. How many acres can be planted per pound of seed?

Answer 1

0.1035 acres can be planted by 1 pound of seeds.

Explanation:

Amount of seeds to be planted = 58 pounds

Area of the field = 6 acres

Area of the field to be planted with per pound seeds =
`\frac{\text{Total Area}}{\text{Amount of seeds to be planted}}`

=
`(6)/(58)`

= 0.1035 acres per pound

Therefore, 0.1035 acres can be planted by 1 pound of seeds.
