Area of the field should be 9*10 = 90 square feet.
a bag of grass seeds cover 15 square feet.
so if you need to know how many bags should be used, then,
Total area of field/ area covered by 1 bag of grass seeds.
= 90/15 = 6 bags
he needs to use 6 bags of grass seeds to cover the whole field.
I don't think there are any 'hidden' questions, though you can consider the 2nd part of the question I guess. (how many bags of seed will Paul...)
For this case we have the following equation:
w = || F || • || PQ || costheta
Where,
|| F ||: force vector module
|| PQ ||: distance module
costheta: cosine of the angle between the force vector and the distance vector.
Substituting values:
w = (60) * (100) * (cos (45))
w = 4242.640687 lb.ft
Answer:
The work done pushing the lawn mower is:
w = 4242.640687 lb.ft
An easy way is to do it, if you get confused by multiplying fractions, is by turning the fractions into decimals. Since you are trying to find N you want to multiply the 1/5 by the 1/3.
1/5 = 0.2
1/3 = 0.33333333333333333333333333333333
if you multiply those you get 0.06666666666666666666666666666667 which when put into a fraction it equals 1/15
but if you don't want to do that just try to remember that you want to get by itself. and when multiplying fractions in this situation the bottom numbers only matter.. so 5 x 3 = 15 1/15
would you like me to put it in a document to show you?
13x + 13 + 2x = 2
15x + 13 = 2
15x = -11
