Answer:

6 pounds of fertilizer is required to cover an area of 180 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

We have to use 4 pounds of fertilizer for 120 square feet of soil.

We find the equivalent ratio of area of soil and amount of fertilizer used.

Ratio =

\displaystyle\frac{\text{Area of soil}}{\text{Amount of fertilizer used}} = \frac{120}{4} = \frac{30}{1}  =30:1

This means that 30 square feet of soil requires 1 pound of fertilizer.

Area of the garden = 180 square feet

Let x be the amount of fertilizer required.

Thus, we can write:

\displaystyle\frac{30}{1} = \frac{180}{x}\\\\x = \frac{180}{30} = 6

Thus, 6 pounds of fertilizer is required to cover an area of 180 square feet.

Answer:

6 minutes and 29 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 30 from 59 to make it a bit easier, than add that 30 to 1 minute and 30 seconds and you would get 2 minutes exact. Then add the 4 minutes and you get 6. Also remember the extra 29 seconds and add that to the 6, and you get 6 minutes and 29 seconds.
