Set up and solve a proportion for the following application problem. If 6 pounds of grass seed cover 367 square feet, how many pounds are needed for 4037 square feet?
Let x be the number of pounds needed for 4037 square feet.
According to the given information, the proportion can be set up as:
6 pounds / 367 square feet = x pounds / 4037 square feet
To solve the proportion, cross-multiply and solve for x:
6 * 4037 = 367 * x
24222 = 367 * x
24222 / 367 = x
66 = x
So, 66 pounds of grass seed are needed for 4037 square feet.
