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
