hour.
4 1/2
To calculate the area covered by the fertilizer in one hour, we need to divide the total area covered by the total time taken. In this case, the fertilizer covers 3 square feet in 1 hour and 4 square feet in 6 hours.
To find the area covered in one hour, we divide the area covered in 6 hours (4 square feet) by the time taken (6 hours):
Area covered in 1 hour = 4 square feet / 6 hours
To simplify the calculation, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2:
Area covered in 1 hour = 2 square feet / 3 hours
So, the fertilizer covers an area of 2 square feet in 3 hours, or in other words, it covers approximately 0.67 square feet per hour.
