A planting bed contains 0.75 tons of soil. A landscaper will apply fertilizer to the bed. The directions say to apply 1 ounce of fertilizer for every 100 pounds of soil.

How many ounces of fertilizer should the landscaper apply?

so 15 oz

15 oz

To determine the number of ounces of fertilizer the landscaper should apply, we need to find the weight of the soil in pounds.

Given that the planting bed contains 0.75 tons of soil, we can convert tons to pounds.

1 ton = 2000 pounds

Therefore, 0.75 tons of soil is equal to (0.75 * 2000) pounds, which is 1500 pounds of soil.

Now, according to the directions, the landscaper should apply 1 ounce of fertilizer for every 100 pounds of soil.

So, we can calculate the number of ounces of fertilizer as follows:

Number of ounces of fertilizer = (weight of soil in pounds / 100)

Number of ounces of fertilizer = (1500 / 100)

Number of ounces of fertilizer = 15 ounces

Therefore, the landscaper should apply 15 ounces of fertilizer to the planting bed.

ton = 2000 lbs

.75 ton = 1500 lbs

Take it from there.
