Answer:

20 pounds of grass seed is needed for one acre.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set up a proportion to solve:

$\frac{2.5 pounds}{1/8 acre}$ = $\frac{x pounds}{1 acre}$

Cross multiply:

$\frac{1}{8}$ x = 2.5

Divide both sides by $\frac{1}{8}$ or multiply both sides by 8.

x = 20

Zander read 13 3/4pages in 1/4 of an hour. Sydney read 43 1/3 pages in 2/3 of an hour. At these rates, would Zander or Sydney re

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zander read $13\frac{3}{4}$ pages in $\frac{1}{4}$ of an hour.

Therefore, pages read by Zander in 1 hour = $\frac{\text{Total pages read}}{\text{Total time taken}}$

= $\frac{13\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}$

= $\frac{55}{4}\times \frac{4}{1}$

= 55 pages per hour

Sydney read $43\frac{1}{3}$ pages in $\frac{2}{3}$ of an hours.

Pages read by Sydney in 1 hour = $\frac{43\frac{1}{3}}{\frac{2}{3} }$

= $\frac{130}{3}\times \frac{3}{2}$

= 65 pages per hour

Therefore, number of pages read more by Sydney as compared to Zander,

= 65 - 55

= 10 pages per hour

At these rates Sydney read 10 pages per hour more than Zander.

If you divide two hundred and thirty-six by four, you have fifty-nine groups; each consisting of three boys and one girl. If you multiply fifty-nine by three, you are presented with the number of boys- one hundred and seventy seven. (:
