You need to treat a lawn to control grubs with WabashWarriorBUG 20 G at the rate of1 pound of active ingredient per 1000 square feet. The lawn is 10,000 square feet insize. how much product do you need to treat the entire lawn?

Answer 1

We were told that

1 pound of active ingredient is required per 1000 square feet.

Given that lawn is 10,000 square feet in size, let x represent the amount of product needed for the lawn. We would set up the equation as shown below

1 = 1000

x = 10000

By cross multiplying, it becomes

x * 1000 = 1 * 10000

1000x = 10000

x = 10000/1000

x = 10

10 pounds of active ingredient would be needed to treat the entire lawn
