Answer:

seed will = 2075\frac{7}{10} ft²

for high setting bag need 5 bags

for low setting bag need 7 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

lawn length = 40\frac{4}{5} ft

lawn width = 50\frac{7}{8} ft

highest setting = 500 square feet

lowest setting = 300 square feet

to find out

how many square feet of seed will he need to cover the entire area and How many bags of seed will he need if he uses the highest setting and The lowest setting

solution

area = length × width   ...............

area =  40\frac{4}{5} × 50\frac{7}{8}

area = \frac{204}{5} × \frac{407}{8}

area = \frac{204*407}{5*8}

area = \frac{20757}{10}

seed will = 2075\frac{7}{10} ft²

and

for high setting bag need

bag need =  \frac{area}{high setting}

bag need =  \frac{2075}{500}

bag need =  4 \frac{3}{20}

so here 4 bag is not sufficient so need 5 bags

and

for low setting

bag need = \frac{2075}{300}

bag need = 6 \frac{11}{12}

so here 6 bag is not sufficient so need 7 bags

Answer:

a.  He will need 2,075.7\ ft^2 of seed to cover the entire area.

b.  He will need 5 bags of seed if he uses the highest setting and 7 bags of seed if he uses the lowest setting.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. You can calculate the area of his lawn by multiplying its dimensions.

The dimensions are:

40\frac{4}{5}\ ft by 50\frac{7}{8}\ ft

We can convert the mixed numbers to decimal numbers. To do this,we must divide the numerator by the denominator of the fraction and then we must add the quotient to the whole number part.

Then, these are:

(40+0.8)\ ft=40.8\ ft

(50+0.875)\ ft=50.875\ ft

Then:

Area=40.8\ ft*50.875\ ft\\\\Area=2,075.7\ ft^2

He will need 2,075.7\ ft^2 of seed to cover the entire area.

b. Let be "h" the number of bags of seed that he will need if he uses the highest setting.

You know that one bag of seed will cover 500 square feet if he uses the highest setting. Then:

h=\frac{2,075.7\ ft^2}{500\ ft^2}\\\\h=4.15\\\\h\approx5

Let be "l" the number of bags of seed that he will need if he uses the lowest setting.

You know that one bag of seed will cover 300 square feet if he uses the lowest setting. Then:

l=\frac{2,075.7\ ft^2}{300\ ft^2}\\\\l=6.9\\\\l\approx7

What is the answer to 10k-9=9k + 10?
oee [108]
K=19 which would leave the equation 181=181. The first step to solving this is subtracting 9k from each side.
after you do that it should be k-9=10
now you add 9 to both sides leave k=19. plug k into the equation and get 181=181

I need the answer to this
garri49 [273]
For both of the contests, the variable is the number of competitors which we can set as x.
Consequently, the equation should be 5.50x+34.60=4.25x+64.60

5.50x=4.25x+30

1.25x=30

x=24

The fee of the contests is the same when there are 24 competitors
