Answer:

Approximately 0.11 acres can be planted with one pound of seed

Explanation:

You use the rule of 3

66 pounds / 7 acres = ? pounds / 1 acre

? = 66 x 1 ÷ 7

? = 66 ÷ 7

? ≈ 9.23 pounds / acre

Now you know how many pounds you have for 1 acre. You reuse the formula from before

9.23 pounds / 1 acre = 1 pound/ ? acres

? = 1x1 ÷ 9.23

? = 1 ÷ 9.23

? = 0.11 acres/pound

Verify the answer:

0.11 x 9.23 ≈ 9.33, which is approximately 1 pound
