Question

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant grass inside the baseball diamond below. About how many pounds of grass seed

Answer 1

Answer:

13 pounds of grass.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 20 pounds of grass seed to plant inside the baseball diamond.

The Baseball Diamond is a square of side = 90 ft

The Softball Diamond is a square of side = 60 ft

The ratio of the size of the Baseball Diamond to that of Softball Diamond is:

90: 60 = 3:2

If 3 represents 20 pounds, then 2 represents;

$\frac{2}{3}$ × 20 = 13.33333333 pounds = 13 pounds (rounded to nearest pound)
