Could anyone help me with this problem? I understand that you can cross multiply but is there a shorter way?

There are several steps needed. I'm not sure this is what you call a shorter way, but I hope it helps!! :)

1) 3 lbs covers 1800 ft2 but we need to find how many ft2 1lb will cover. Divide # of lbs of seed available (3 lbs in this case) into the # of ft2 the available seed will cover (1800ft2 in this case):
1800ft2/3lbs=600ft2

So 1 lb covers 600ft2.

2) Now to find how many lbs 8400 needs. Divide the # of ft2 for 1 lb into the # of ft2 total (8400ft2 in this case):
8400/600ft2 (for 1lb) = 14 lbs

3) 14 lbs is now how many bags? The question does not say how many lbs in 1 bag.

IF ASSUMING the bags are 3lbs each, you divide the # of lbs per bag into the # of total lbs (14lbs in this case).

14lbs/3lb bags= 4.7 bags needed

IF 4lb bags:
14lbs/3lb bags= 3.5 bags needed

IF 5lb bags:
14lbs/5lb bags= 2.8 bags needed

IF 6lb bags:
14lbs/6lbs= 2.3 bags needed

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

13.400

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start with 416 First go to the 6 and since its over 4 we can automatically know that it makes the 1 in 416 to a 2 and the 2 cannot go up any higher so we make everything else below 4 a zero.
