Five bags of fertiliser covers 15 square metres. What area of lawn could be covered with 30 bags of fertiliser?
We can solve the problem by setting up a proportion where the amount of fertiliser is directly proportional to the area of lawn covered.
Let x be the area of lawn covered by 30 bags of fertiliser.
Then, we can write the proportion as:
5 bags / 15 sqm = 30 bags / x sqm
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
5 * x = 15 * 30
x = 90 sqm
Therefore, 30 bags of fertiliser can cover an area of 90 square meters.
To find the area of lawn that could be covered with 30 bags of fertiliser, we need to determine the coverage per bag and multiply it by the number of bags.
Given that five bags of fertiliser cover 15 square metres, we can start by calculating the coverage per bag. To do this, we divide the total area covered (15 square metres) by the number of bags (5):
Coverage per bag = 15 square metres ÷ 5 bags = 3 square metres per bag
So, each bag of fertiliser covers 3 square metres.
Next, we can determine the area of lawn that can be covered with 30 bags of fertiliser by multiplying the coverage per bag by the number of bags:
Area of lawn covered = Coverage per bag × Number of bags
= 3 square metres per bag × 30 bags
= 90 square metres
Therefore, 30 bags of fertiliser could cover an area of 90 square metres of lawn.
To determine the area of lawn that could be covered with 30 bags of fertiliser, we need to find the ratio between the number of bags and the area they cover.
Given that five bags cover 15 square meters, we can calculate the coverage per bag by dividing the total area (15 square meters) by the number of bags (5):
Coverage per bag = 15 square meters / 5 bags = 3 square meters per bag
Now, to calculate the area of lawn that can be covered with 30 bags of fertiliser, we multiply the coverage per bag by the number of bags:
Area of lawn = 3 square meters per bag * 30 bags
Area of lawn = 90 square meters
Therefore, 30 bags of fertiliser can cover an area of 90 square meters of lawn.
