To proof

As given

Timothy is putting fertilizer on a field after planting some crops.

The directions on the barrel state to use 0.75 quarts for each acre of land.

Timothy need for two fields, one that is 22.5 acres and one that is 38.25 acres

First case

Fertilizer used for the 22.5 acres field = 22.5× 0.75

                                                               = 16.875 quarts

Second case

Fertilizer used for the 38.25 acres field = 38.25× 0.75

                                                                  = 28.6875 quarts

Total fertilizer used in two field =  16.875 quarts + 28.6875 quarts

                                                    = 45.5625

                                                    = 45.563 quarts ( approx )

Hence proved
