Question

(b) It takes 37 pounds of seed to completely plant a 4-acre field. How many pounds of seed are needed per acre?​

Answer 1

9.25 lbs

Explanation:

37 is the amount for 4 acres or 4a:

37 = 4a

Isolate and find a by dividing both sides by 4:

4a = 37

4a ÷ 4 =
`(37)/(4)`

a =
`(37)/(4)` or 9.25 lbs

Hope this helps!
