Question

A 6 pound bag of grass seed covers 2,000 square feet. How many pounds would be needed to cover 25,000 square feet? Round the answer to the nearest pound.

Answer 1

6/2000 = x / 25,000.....6 lbs to 2000 sq ft = x lbs to 25,000 sq ft
cross multiply
(2000)(x) = (6)(25,000)
2000x = 150,000
x = 150,000/2000
x = 75 <== 75 lbs
