Question

A gardener applies compost to her garden at the rate of 2 bushels of compost for every 16 square feet of garden. At this rate, how many bushels of compost will she need for 208 square feet of garden?

Answer 1

If they remove 2 bushels for every 16 squared feet, that is 1 bushel for every 8 squared feet. At that rate, you’ll get that she’ll need 26 bushels for her garden, at 208 squared feet.

1/8= x/ 208
