a bag of 3lb of Fairlawn's number 25 of grass seeds cover 4000ft2 area. how much an area will be if 16oz of the same seeds cover please answer fast as you can
Set up a proportion.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
3lb 16oz (1 LB)
- -
4000ft2 = X
HERE OS THE PROPORTION
OK.
3/4000 = 1/x
3x = 4,000
x = 1,333,33 square feet
To find out how much area will be covered by 16 ounces of Fairlawn's number 25 grass seeds, we need to calculate the coverage rate per weight.
We know that a bag of 3 pounds (lb) of Fairlawn's number 25 grass seeds covers a 4000 square feet (ft^2) area.
First, we need to convert the weight from pounds to ounces:
1 lb = 16 oz
So, the bag of 3 lb is equivalent to 3 lb * 16 oz/lb = 48 oz of seeds.
Now, we can calculate the coverage rate per ounce:
Coverage rate = Area covered / Total weight
Coverage rate = 4000 ft^2 / 48 oz
To calculate how much area will be covered by 16 ounces of seeds, we need to use the coverage rate:
Area covered = Coverage rate * Total weight
Area covered = Coverage rate * 16 oz
Now, let's calculate:
Coverage rate = 4000 ft^2 / 48 oz
Coverage rate = 83.33 ft^2/oz (rounded to two decimal places)
Area covered = 83.33 ft^2/oz * 16 oz
Area covered = 1333.28 ft^2 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, 16 ounces of the same seeds will cover approximately 1333.28 square feet of area.
