Question

A landscaping company uses a mixture of 20 pounds of grass seed and 356 pounds of fertilizer when reseeding a customer's lawn.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

for 20 pounds of grass seed, we need 356 pounds of fertilizer

20 pounds of grass seed : 356 pounds of fertilizer

divide both sides by 20 to get 1 pound of grass seed on one side, as we want to figure out the corresponding amount of fertilizer for 1 pound of grass seed

20 pounds of grass seed/20 : 356 pounds of fertilizer/20

1 pound of grass seed: 17.8 pounds of fertilizer
