Question

A landscaper uses 78 pound of grass seed for each acre he seeds. He has 6 pounds of seed available. Determine how many whole acres can be planted with the available seed. Show your work.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.0769

Explanation:

Dividing 6 pounds by 78 pounds gives us the fraction of an acre that can be planted.

6 ÷ 78 = 0.0769

However, we are looking for the number of whole acres that can be planted, so we need to round down to the nearest whole number.

Therefore, the landscaper can plant 0 acres with the available seed.

To summarize, with 6 pounds of seed available and using 78 pounds of seed per acre, the landscaper cannot plant any whole acres with the available seed.

hope this helped :)))
